A friend who lived in Richmond loved that store.<br />Hamilton is a gorgeous cat, too. Hope he has a nice home.<br />Independent bookstores are some of the best places to visit and hang out. It is too bad this happened.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-9066623374957943382009-09-18T03:22:08.647-04:002009-09-18T03:22:08.647-04:00What I was trying to say is that fiction, includin...What I was trying to say is that fiction, including mysteries, can delve into all aspects of the human condition,and all variations on how human beings live, which makes it so fascinating.kathy d.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-26467662298314425632009-09-16T21:35:45.924-04:002009-09-16T21:35:45.924-04:00A bittersweet day at Creatures 'n Crooks with ...A bittersweet day at Creatures 'n Crooks with Lelia, Annie, Hamilton and the rest of the gang . . . plus so many good friends. I'll miss the store . . . and all those lunches before the signings at Babe's around the corner!! Carytown just won't be the same.

Loved coming to the store, not only to see friends and fans I've made since my very first signing there mumble mumble years ago, but my semi-annual excuse to buy clothes in the funky Carytown shops and eat in one of the fab quirky restaurants. Thanks, Lelia ... and stay in touch.Marcia Talleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02844552747312848730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-33342388819583924302009-09-16T17:10:58.728-04:002009-09-16T17:10:58.728-04:00This makes me so sad.

Amazon can't fill all these roles, can it)?<br /><br />She invited me to participate in a group signing later that year with other mystery authors - my first-ever signing. I was so thrilled; I thought she must be joking. Donna Andrews, Ellen Byerrum, G.M.

I wish I could have been there to pay tribute to it.<br /><br />It is truly a sad thing to see any bookselling venture fail, especially one as lovingly maintained as this one was--one which helped to support the careers of so many authors.Julia Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270211923343731659noreply@blogger.com
