Your reach is far, Lorna. Great interview.

Toby I really enjoyed this interview and the discipline you have to write. I will read your Blood Orchids. I love a good story that also takes you into a culture that is often misunderstood.

Just finished reading "Blood Orchids." Stayed up late and got up early to finish. A real page turner, although the crime mystery genre is typically (well, never) my first choice. I was drawn to the book for a variety of reasons and am thinking I just may have been missing something by brushing these off in the past. Or, it could be that Toby Neal exposes a side of mystery writing that is fresh and new and where there are captivating characters I can identify with - at least in my imagination. Lei is the strong woman I would like to be, but she is also vulnerable and wants all the things we all want and need - compassion, love, understanding and forgiveness.This is just a great read that I didn't want to end. Can't wait until May when I get to catch up with Lei again.
