"Hubby and I had the distinct pleasure of hosting Pari Taichert in our home and fine city this week. You think the Internet does Pari justice? Think again. Irrepressible is the best term I can come up with. We stayed up much too late two nights in a row, drinking a lovely McWilliams's Shiraz I've been keeping back for months for the occasion. We talked a lot about this industry, about the future of our careers, about blogging in general and Murderati in particular." posted with permission

EXHIBIT #1 The Case of the New Mexico Writer - "With two prestigious Agatha nominations under her belt, Pari (Monday's child) is anything but regional. But starting out with her debut mystery, THE CLOVIS INCIDENT, Pari first attacked what she knew best: the Southwest-the subject of her Sasha Solomon series.

She had already contributed newspaper columns to the Albuquerque Tribune and articles to a publication that served both Albuquerque and Santa Fe. She became active in writing organizations, where she met respected authors like Tony Hillerman and who gave her a wonderful blurb for her debut. She participated in book fairs in shopping malls and helped start Croak & Dagger, the Sisters in Crime chapter in Albuquerque (even serving as its founding president).

Since getting published, Pari has been extending her net beyond her New Mexico and Southwest home base. She'll be contributing a monthly column for Mystery Writers of America's The Third Degree newsletter in which she'll be interviewing editors and agents in the crime fiction world. Key from the very beginning has been her extensive public relations and marketing background, which aided in her getting an introduction to her publisher, University of New Mexico Press, in the first place." posted with permission
