How to contact me:

Join me at my blog at LiveJournal. I write about my books, the people, places and crimes of fashion that inspire them, and of course myself and what I'm up to. I'd love to hear from you. Readers are welcome to email me at laceysmithsonian@yahoo.com  or to write to me at Ellen Byerrum, P.O. Box 1668, Alexandria VA 22313. I reply as promptly as my schedule permits. If you'd like a signed book but can't make it to a signing, just send me a letter-size SASE for a signed self-adhesive bookplate.
