DR:     Hello Brenda, You are hearing from me. (G). And what a nice surprise.
  :     I too am a writer, as yet to be published, but I keep plugging away
  :     at it. How lovely you write mysteries and am looking forward to them
  :     coming to the States. Give me the titles and I'll keep an eye out
  :     for them. Do you write under your own name?
Hi. Yes, I do write under my own name. My real name is Maliha Aqeel. My
book is called, "Brenda Morgan in Misconception", hence the handle. I've
written eight books so far in the series, but getting them published is
a long process.
DR:     I have written a novel that might be classified as a mystery, however
  :     it is more in the romance genre. At least that's what it started out
  :     to be. My protaganist has to solve the mystery of finding out why a
  :     chain of hotels is losing money when their business is increasing.
  :     No murders or anything, but her life has been threatened. I too had
  :     had fun writing it, even if it never gets into print, I can say I did
  :     it.
You know something, it's an interesting plot. I hope you do get it
published, I'd love to read it. The whole series is set in Westerburgh,
a fictional town on the California coastline. The area is basically of
all rich people. It starts with an influential businessman being
murdered and it seems as a hit and run accident. The main character gets
involved because she knew the victim. As things start to unfold, many
secrets unearth.
  :     Do you find yourself falling in love with any of the characters
  :     in your books? I did, with the brother of my protaganist and am
  :     thinking of maybe doing a book with him as the main character.
  :     Thinking being the operative word.
Actually, it has happened to me. I found myself falling in love with my
main character's best friend. I based him on what every girl wants, and
at one point I found it hard to detach myself. 
DR:     I have never heard of the two writers above, but will certainly
  :     look for them in the library. Thanks for mentioning them. As we
  :     say in this conference, our to be read list gets longer and longer.
DR:     Thanks for writing to me Brenda. I'ts wonderful to hear from a
  :     fellow writer. Do hope I will someday have the privilege of reading
  :     your works. Keep going. The world needs good reading.
Thanks. By the way, do you know any good publishers in the States. I
didn't quite don the list of the three I approached, but the US is a big
place, right?
Take care.
Bye..
Bren.
