In addition, when Fonesca and Ames take Mickey to his dad's house and encounter Viviase investigating the fathers murder, it appears as if Fonesca has to introduce Mickey to the detective(?).
Obviously, these two small questions don't detract from an excellent novel, but I wondered what I missed. Any answers would be appreciated.
Sincerely,

02, 2004 at 05:54:10 (PST)Just finished "Now You See It." , having enjoyed
it immensely. But...was it proofread?? There are 2 chapter 5s. On p. 30
(ch. 3)I found: "I went inside and headed for the stairs. On my left were
Mrs. Plaut's room....." Next paragraph: "On my left was the parlor, decorated..."
And, alas, I didn't use a post-it to
mark the page, but noted an instance when "ten" was printed as "then".
Do you have a chance to make corrections before the paperback edition comes
out???'
Keep up the great work.

Last paragraph, p. vii: "Blackstone ...and a thick hair of billowing silver hair...", should read "thick head."
Page 21: "...scrap paper pilled..." should be "piled."
Page 101: "She poured me more coffee." But, on page 99, Anita served him "...Pepsi on ice..".
These sort of errors are rife in the books. As a retired police lieutenant(40 years in the business) I can tell you that inconsistencies in statements is a major clue that suspects are lying. Any good cop will go over the story many, many times to ensure that the suspect says the same thing every time.
In any event, when is the next Rostnikov
due?

I enjoy your books very much. Therefore, I readily bought the new Mystery
Writers of America book that you edited. "Show Business is Murder" was
a big disappointment. Overall, it was a sad collection of tripe that should
bring little or no praise to the writers. I will still buy your books,
but please don't lend your name to this type of project again.

With all the current events that have
beseiged Russia, I hope that Mr. Kaminsky has found inspiration for a new
Rostnikov novel! Rostnikov and Karpo are just terrific! And Zelach becomes
more intriguing with each book. Of course, I also want to know whether
Sasha Tkach's reunion with Maya will have a good outcome and what the future
holds for Iosef and Elena! Please, please give us another peek at their
lives!
Thank you for enriching your fans with
great literature and stories into which one can really lose oneself!

Bonjour,
I read Never Cross a Vampire a few weeks ago. It was a delightful romp in old Hollywood and I loved Kaminsky's thoughtful portrayal of Bela Lugosi.
I had never heard of Kaminsky before
I bought the novel for $2. The French translation was only of medium quality
and I don't think it did justice to Kaminsky's style. I'm going to buy
the other Toby Peters novels in English.

I just want to thank Mr. K. for the many hours of reading pleasure
he has given me. I only discovered his work a year ago, and have since
devoured all of Lieberman, all of Rostnikov, and all of Fonesca. The plotting
abilities, the character development and the atmospheric touches all leave
me breathless, as does the scope of this writing. I am in my mid-50s, very
well-read, and have never come across someone so eclectically worth reading
since Asimov and before him Conan Doyle. Hats off to Stuart Kaminsky!

I have read all Rostnikov novels, they are great. I have read the Fonseca
novels (all two of them) and am looking forward to the third. A minor plot,
but major historical mistake in the "Fall of a Cosmonaut" -- on page 178
- Rostnikov's phone conversation with Sarah - it is said that the Romanovs
were murdered only miles from where Rostnikov was standing. I guess that
is literally true, but it is MANY miles to Ekaterinburg!
Keep the Rostnikov novels coming!!!!

Hi Stuart:
I love your Toby Peters books. I too
am a writer and have written a book titled “Murder at Columbia” also set
in the Hollywood of 1943. Unlike Toby, my private eye Buck Ames was a former
stuntman. The story takes place in Columbia Pictures studio during the
filming of two movie serials Batman and the Phantom.
I would be pleased if you would like
to read “Murder at Columbia” and perhaps review it for me. If you would
like a copy please e-mail me and I will send you a copy.

My wife and I have read all of your work that we've been able to get
our hands on (most of it, I think). We love it all.
In the latest Lew Fonesca novel there
was mention of Chet Baker playing a "coronet". Maybe the publisher's typo,
but Chet played a "cornet" (from Latin "cornu" -- "horn";
"coronet" (a small crown) comes from
Latin "corona" --"crown").
I, like Chet did, play cornet and trumpet. I hope you'd do the same for me if I had a typo like this.
Thanks for all the entertainment -- not to mention the stimuli for introspection.

Dear Mr. Kaminsky, I am a very fan of your Toby Peters novels. Unfortunately,
italian publishers seem to have forgotten this series (the last translation
appeared in 1997, as Domani è un altro giorno - Tomorrow is another
day) - so I had to strengthen my english and buy all your books since 1998
on the net (and it's better - even volumes themselves are far better edited).
Well, this was just to say hello and thanks, and wish you to write for
a couple of generations anymore. Bye

that supports the Yardley-Makefield branch of the public library system
in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Recently, state funding was cut by 37%,
which caused staff cutbacks, shortened operating hours, and fewer resources
available to the patrons of the library.

Just finished MIDNIGHT PASS & enjoyed it immensely. One thing:
at the end I expected to find the reason Lew was laid up in Sarasota Memorial
in the beginning of the book.
I recall Midnight Pass from the 1960's.
We had beach parties on Casey Key's then undeveloped north end and we sometimes
bounced along Rollercoaster road on Siesta Key's south end to "park." The
route number on both was the same -- 783, I think -- so I always thought
the designation was made before the pass was created. With Midnight Pass,
boats headed for the Gulf didn't have to travel all the way past Casey
Key and force two bridges to open, backing up traffic. Then again, so much
else has changed........

In my late-ish middle age I've discovered that with the exception of
a handful of straight fiction, the only books worth reading are mysteries,
PI sagas, and police procedurals. Not only are they the most interesting,
they're also the best written. Very lately I've discovered your books and
have read four in the last two weeks. I am on my second Fonesca (going
backwards) and have read two Abe's. I love these books, but have a great
concern: Your publisher, Tor (unless you have a contract deal to deliver
camera-ready copy that needs no checking), is not providing you good proofreading
and, in some cases, editorial backup. Each book contains way over the accepted
limit for typos; occasionally there are editorial misfires, too. E.g.,
Abe's son-in-law's first name changes from one book to its sequel. The
first Fonesca is especially typo laden, to the point it interferes with
the reading. I expect you've heard this from others. I'm a freelance editor,
writer, and excellent proofreader. I would be honored to proofread any
of your yet-to-be published novels at half-rate. Thank you for the joyous
reading!

to the very end. Can't wait to catch on some of your other books! BTW -
the reader was an excellent choice.

Just finished "Mildred Pierced." At the end of Mrs. Plaut's "Episode
of the Silver Creek Ghost" I originally thought you were telling us that
she is the product of incest. After re-reading it several times, my wife
and I have decided the wording is ambiguous. Any comments?
We both love your work, especially
Peters and Rostnikov. Thanks!

Hi, Stuart. Not so much a query. Just a note of appreciation. I have
read many, fictional mystery/murder genre characters. I was given a recommendation
,on a website for your MIDNIGHT PASS. It is my first introduction, to your
writing and to Lew Fonesca. I am now looking to read, both VENGANCE, and
RETRIBUTION. I thought, until Lew Fonesca I was completley satisfied in
my sequence reading of many other fictional characters. So, just to say,
how much I have enjoyed MIDNIGHT PASS. Every event in that story, created
suspense, mystery and interest.
Dave.

Enjoy the Toby Peters books very much (my age group).
Looking forward to Blackstone book.
Hope you've done your homework on magicians. I'm magically knowledgeable
& was appalled by the crap Jeffrey Deaver wrote about magic in THE
VANISHED MAN. Extremely inaccurate! Hope you've gotten some competent technical
advice.
Thanks again

"Dr. Ungurait" treating Toby Peters. The real Dr. Ungurait (Don) is an
old friend. I don't think I'd let him treat me, though!

'Midnight Pass'-great story and an outstanding charcter. For those
of us over 25 (a few times), Lew with all his 'baggage' gives us hope.
He even in despair. He still has high standards for his fellow man, and
he word is worth it's weight in gold. The audio book was read by Scott
Brick is does add to your book. Thank you

A snowbird livng in Siesta village, loved Vengeance with Sarasota base.
Suggest you add in Video Renaissance on Bee Ridge since Lew loves old movies--and
they have more than 20000 titles. Owners have encyclopedic knowledge of
movies-old and new.
Also hope Phillippi Creek Oyster Bar,
off south Tamiami, shows up somewhere. Seems everyone's favorite laid back
seafood place--unless it's Cap'n Brian's, just north of airport. Keep 'em
coming! MHS

Mildred was great as was Toby and the entire
cast of characters. I was born in County

we moved to Burbank

Just finished the audiobook 'The Fala Factir'. To say this is outstanding
would not give enough credit. The characters and the hunor come right off
the page. The briliant manner in which FDR, WWII, and Los Angeles are brought
together keeps you attention. The only question is how can someone so young
bring to life a time and area which has changed so much. I look forward
to the other books of Toby and his team of characters during World War
II.

Mr. Kaminsky - I had the pleasure of (briefly) meeting you at Sarasota
Memorial. As a result, I (indirectly) learned of your novels. I checked-out
your website: well-done! Then noticed the "Midnight Pass" info-page in
the SRQ Tribune; immediately went to B&N for the novel. My husband
& I took turns reading the book aloud to each other on our patio -
your story is too fun not to share it with someone along the way. You'll
be pleased to know Lew Fonesca's relocation to Sarasota has brought entertainment
to many SRQ residents - we've recommended "Midnight Pass to everyone we
encounter in town. We're also sharing your Fonesca novels with my sister's
family/friends in Evanston who live at Monticello Place. Very Best Regards,

I'm still working my way through the Toby's. Loved "Mildred Pierced".
Lots of of shaking up. Can't wait to see what comes of the new partnership.
Toby'd make a great TV series character. Here's my casting: Toby - a younger
(tho not much) Robert Blake or Peter Falk. Mrs. P - Betty White, Phil -
the guy who played the Dad on the Wonder Years (can't remember his name).
Still looking for a Shelley. Looking forward to the next book. Happy Wishes,Patricia

The tribute includes all the books/characters

back on it from time to time:

She did not refer to Mr. Peelers as
it might be too confusing at the outset. I expect she will revert to form.

Hi. I just finished reading MILDRED PIERCED. I love Toby and Co. as
I've said before, but everytime you gift me with a new one I am compelled
to say, thank you very much! This one was great fun. I laughed out loud
when I saw the title. Perfection. I also loved and appreciated all the
references to William Powell, Nick Charles, Philo Vance. Being the Powell
fan that I am, I continue to hope you will get Mr. Powell and Toby together
one day. (LIFE WITH FATHER, Warner Brothers, 1947) I promise to bug you
about that only once a year.
All good wishes, your forever fan, Deb
Oh, PS I'm sorry that Ruth is gone,
but great move partnering Phil with Toby. I look forward to the new twists
this collaboration will bring.

I am halfway through your latest Rostnikov novel. I have read them
all, so I'm at the end of the line. Twice in my life I have been depressed
for a day or so when finishing a series such as yours -- for O'Brian's
Aubry-Maturin books and for the great Wahloo/Sjowall Stockholm novels.
I hope you take this for the compliment it is meant to be. I also hope
that there are more Rostnikov books on the way.

I was about to write a second article recommending your books to the
readers of our newspaper here in southeastern Wisconsin with the lead,
"Now that I have read all of Stuart Kaminsky's books," when I realized
I haven't read the two James Rockford titles. Damn!
Thank you for everything you have written.
I put off reading the Rostnikov series because I thought the Russian names
might be a problem. Of course they weren't. My favorite, however, is still
Abe Lieberman. Maybe it's because I'm more familiar with Chicago than Sarasota,
Moscow or Hollywood. Or maybe it's because Abe is my kind of guy. I admire
your talent and appreciate your (there's no such word as prolificness,
is there?) output. I was depressed because I had read all of Donald Westlake
until I discovered your work. Thank you again. I think I'll get to work
on the article before I read the Rockford books.

I have enjoyed reading many of your books and feel badly that I don't
have access to your TV show.
In one of your Lieberman stories there
is mention of a Barry Dunne. I had a friend in the 1940's by that name
who lived, as I did, very close to where Abe must live. Did you, perchance,
know a Barry Dunne who would now be 75 years old?
Although it might not be practical
in this day and age I think you would be be quite good at writing Vic and
Sade radio scripts. This thought came to my mind while reading "A Fatal
Glass Of Beer"

I'm enjoying your "Murder on...Express". I noticed a phrase I think
is very similar to one in an e. e. cummings poem about Buffalo Bill. The
phrase is "How do you like your blue eyed boy now, Mr. Death?" Or did he
take the line from a poem about the express? Or do you just like the phrase.
I guess I always have which is why I remember the line.

mention also my reaction to the comment made by the young man who criticized
you for deviating from the subject at hand, that is, the movie under discussion.
I admire your patience, but at the same time, that young man was wasting
valuable time and should have been made to understand that the asides you
made were enriching and vital to better comprehending and appreciating
the movie. If he does return (and I hope he doesn't) please don't let him
disrupt the session again. Looking forward to February 25th. Regards, Miriam.

"Not Quite Kosher," the latest entry in the Abe Lieberman series, could
possibly be the best. The action starts in the first few pages and latr
takes us through the trials and tribulations of partners Abe and Bill.
Kaminsky captures the neighborhoods of the Windy City's North Side, the
detective area for Abe and Bill. Fans of Lieberman and Hanrahan won't be
disappointed.

Dear Mr. Kaminsky - Rae Kridel suggested I write you. I teach at a
small university in Sweden and am planning a detective fiction & film
course - i've had students doing research projects on detective fiction
and Uppsala had a dissertation on it last spring so it's booming. Rae thought
you might be able to suggest some films. Have any of yours been filmed?
That would be great.
I do like your stories and your novels. I'm often not so fond of detective short stories but quite liked the ones in Criminal Kabbalah and Mystery Midrash - changed my view.
Thanks for your help - and keep writing the Jewish ones because we're now a national minority in Sweden (of all places) and it is thus easier to teach courses with Jewish content. And I'm at the stage where I try to teach what I want to.
Best wishes, Michal Moskow

Dear Mr. Kaminsky, I'm contacting you to ask permission to reprint
your interview with Don Siegel on "Invasion of the Body Snatchers," as
first published, I believe, in "Science Fiction Films" (ed. Thomas Atkins,
1976). It's for an anthology I'm editing, The Science Fiction Film Reader,
for Limelight Editions. The book will appear in trade paper only, in a
first edition of 3500 copies with a tentative price of $20. We are requesting
world rights. Please let me know what your reprint fee would be for this
item. And thank you. Sincerely, Gregg Rickman

I have recently begun reading Toby Peters and Lew Fonesca series novels
and have enjoyed them immensely. When I first saw the Toby Peters series
I was sure the use of famous people wouldn't work but it does - extremely
well. I have begun to get very acquainted with Mrs Plount, Ginther, Jeremy,
Alice, Anita, Wanita, Phil and even Violet. Very enjoyable reads. I always
judge a book by whether I actually care about the characters as I read
a book. Stuart Kaminsky does a great job of making the characters come
alive.

Mr. Kaminsky: I've enjoyed reading the Toby Peters series for some
time now. Looking forward to the Cary Grant story. My only regret is that
you can't produce one a month. Toby "Peelers" is a great character, the
ongoing cast around him is varied and well developed, the plots interesting.
I so much look forward to each new book. Now if I could only acquire amnesia
so I could read them all with that special sense of anticipation.
Thank you, Bill Yost

the only one who would think these books would make a great tv series?
On PBS or A & E?

I am curious as to your reactions to your first visit to Russia after
having written a number of books about life in USSR and Russia. I have
visited perhaps 10 or 11 times beginning in 1978 and as recently as 2002
and have seen many changes - most of which seem reflected in your books.
I still think it must have been a revelation to see how many Russians really
live - even more depressing in most cases than in your novels.I first read
one of your Rostnikov novels when I was in Russia on August 2002 and when
I got home I located 5 or 6 which I read on my next trip overseas. I have
enjoyed all that I have read so far.

I'm a long time fan and have just finished "A Few Minutes Past Midnight."
I love all of Stuart's characters, but I'll always have a soft spot for
Toby and his team. Fun, exciting and warm. Orson Wells, please?

Great fan of the Toby Peters series. On the same shelf with Chandler.
I thought I had all of them but I see from your list that I am short two.
Next stop: Amazon.com

Somewhere I read that you are head of the Film Preservation Institute
or something like that. Is that true, and if so, is it in Sarasota? And
is it open to the public? Also, have just started reading my first Rockford
files book. I have had a love affair (unknown to him) with James Garner
for years, and avoided these books because I loved the TV show so much.
But you do a great job. Thanks!

Have enjoyed Mr. K's work for many years, with Rostnikov being by favorite
followed closely by Lieberman. Besides the fantastic personal detail, it's
great to follow the real-time changes in their families and circumstances
over time.

Ran to the Lonboat library to pick up 3 today. Am starting the Toby Peters

some of your Russian series, especially the one that one the mystery writer's
award and the Abe Leiberman series (which is mt 2nd favorite), my favorite
series is Toby Peters. Thanks for all the enjoyment you have given me.

I enjoy the Rostnikov novels. I have a streaming webcam site which
shows a street corner in Ekaterinburg. I wondered if someone in America
saw a murder occuring there and contacted the Russian Embasy if it would
be a start of a Rostnikov novel.

I'm a big fan, but my Mom may be your biggest. She's read every book!
(From my name, I bet you can guess which detective series is our favorite.)
So, for her birthday, I'm hoping to get her either a collector's item of
Kaminsky's or some kind of autographed book. Is there a way to purchase
such things?
Thanks,

Three years ago I had a hip replacement. I discovered Toby Peters about
the same time. While recovering from the operation, I kept sending my wife
to the library for the next book. I hadn't seen a new Toby Peters for a
while and I was missing him and his crew. I've just found two more and
it looks like another is in the works. Keep up the great work. I never
grow tired of this series. Thanks for helping me through a rough time with
your wonderful talent and great characters.

Stuart. I am publishing a new book on John Wayne. I am putting some
quotes about his films on back cover. I read an article on Legend of the
Lost by you, reproduced in Tim Lilley's The Trail Beyond, and wonder if
I could use your brief description about the way Ford, Hawks and Hathaway
portrayed Wayne? We already have abook about JW out in UK. This one will
compliment it.
