Fifteen years ago today, I published my first blog post here at In Reference to Murder. It's hard to believe it's been that long. There are plenty of times I've wondered if it was all worth it, and plenty of times I've considered ending it, but here we are. I hope I've been able to promote fellow authors and the crime fiction and crime drama communities in some small fashion. As Raymond Chandler said, "Don't ever write anything you don't like yourself and if you do like it, don't take anyone's advice about changing it. They just don't know."
