Alafair Burke's Interests
|
| General | Reading, writing, watching either really good or really bad TV, cooking, wine, travel, golf, running, celebrity gossip (can't help myself), and, this one's a biggie, my french bulldog Duffer. | | Music | Depends on my mood. Prince, Clash, Stones, U2, Jay-Z, Killers, Blondie, B-52s, all of my old 80's europop, Bowie, Weezer, Janis Joplin, Aretha, Andy Gibb. Like I said, my taste (or lack thereof depending on your view) varies. | | Movies | Election, Godfather I & II, Groundhog Day, Sideways, Silence of the Lambs, Working Girl, Shawshank Redemption, Say Anything, Saturday Night Fever, Princess Bride, Rear Window, Edward Scissorhands, American Beauty, Juno. Anything with Maggie Gyllenhaal, who in my greatest fantasies adapts the Samantha Kincaid series. | | Television | 30 Rock, Dexter, Weeds, The Office, Veronica Mars, Gilmore Girls (though they may have jumped the shark with little Gigi), Buffy, Seinfeld, Project Runway, The Shield, Sopranos, Extras, Arrested Development, Big Love. (Yes, I know half those shows are off the air. Doesn't matter.) I still love Law & Order but think someone needs to tell that new detective not to walk like the terminator ("Your clothes. Give them to me now."). | | Books | I get in trouble if I don't name every one of my friends, but I am fond of other writers with the last name Burke. | | Heroes | People I meet everyday who find small ways to make the world a better place (Say it all together now..."Awwww.") |

Alafair Burke's Blurbs |
About me:
I'm fortunate to be both a published author and a law professor, two rewarding roles that challenge different parts of my brain and personality. I've noticed that eyes tend to glaze over when I don my law prof hat so this space is dedicated to my books and to my life as a crime writer. I'm new to MySpace so forgive me as I figure out the nuances.
I am the author of four crime novels, including my forthcoming book Dead Connection, a thriller about a killer who finds his victims on a popular dating site (no, not on MySpace). Dead Connection marks a change for me. It is set in New York and introduces NYPD Detective Ellie Hatcher. My previous books, Judgment Calls, Missing Justice, and Close Case, all feature feisty prosecutor Samantha Kincaid. Please visit my author website where you can sign up for my newsletter and learn more about my books.

Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone who reads my books or who is interested in reading and/or writing thrillers and mystery novels. Any other french bullog or other pet devotees.
