World Aids Day

I've lost several friends to AIDS.

I hope you'll never have to write that same sentence.

But I also hope that even if you don't know anyone who is HIV positive, you'll contribute to the fight against AIDS, that you'll become informed about this deadly but preventable disease, and that you'll take prevention measures seriously.

How many times have you heard a speaker do that to a microphone, not quite believing his or her voice was being heard by the audience? You find me in a similar position, and apologizing in advance if I'm as clumsy as that speaker.

This is a place where readers can ask questions and get information about my books and stories, and where I'll be talking about subjects both related and unrelated to my writing. I'm hoping it will not only replace the message boards on my my Web site (alas, spamming posters forced my Webmaster Maderia James and me to abandon the message boards), but will also allow us to have some fun together discussing a wide range of topics. I hope to introduce you to some guest bloggers as well.

I post here and on a blog about the Crime Lab Project, the CLP Forum. That blog focuses on forensic science. If you haven't visited the Crime Lab Project Web site yet, please take a look.
