| Comments: | Dear Ms Wilhelm,
I have read two of your novels (yes, the Barbara Holloway series)and have found them to be "my kind of reading." I love cats, therefore I find "Thing 1" and "Thing 2" to be just charming. |

| Comments: | Dear Ms. Wilhelm,
I have recently finished my first novel, although I've been writing for abou 40 years. It's set in Portland, and I'm amazed how well the book came out (as in, did I really write this?). Even my husband is impressed, and he's my toughest critic, besides me, of course. I live near Marcola, just outside of Eugene, and when I told my friends I'd finished my book, they suggested I try to contact you to ask if you could give me any help or suggestions. Thank You!

Totally enjoy your work and grasp of the fine points of law and courtroom. Next time you have a public signing, I would like to attend and meet you. Thanks David |

| Comments: | Kate, I just discovered your Barbara Holloway books. I can't get enough of them. I got one from the bookstore, read it, and went back and bought 5 more! Love the interaction between Barbara and her Dad. Brings back memories of me and my Dad. |

| Comments: | I am really enjoying your Barbara Holloway series. I love the banter between Barbara and her father. They seem so normal in their everyday lives, but Barbara is really a tiger in the courtroom.
I am getting this series through the audio books available at my county library. I'm sure I'm going to want to read more of your novels. Thank you |

Thought you might be interested to know that I recently reviewed the current issue of Fantasy & Science Fiction magazine in which your short story, "Shadows on the Wall of the Cave," appears. The review is at Tangent Online. Wish you well in all your projects. Thank you.

| Comments: | I love the Barbara Holloway series but I was very disturbed by the most recent book I read which discussed Darren and his "interns". I am a physical therapist and have been practicing for 19 years. At no time in my memory were physical therapists trained and "certified" by other physical therapists on the job. Over the past 20 years I've seen the profession progress from a Bachelor's to Doctorate degree level. I can't remember when a student could study some 'pre-med' and then receive a "certification". PTs now spend six to seven years in college and graduate with doctorate degrees. The licensure exam is rigorous. I wish you had done your homework because that last book left a sour taste in my mouth. |

I have discovered your books just maybe six months ago -- and I love them! I live in Springfield, Oregon, and I very much love recognizing the places you mention in your Barbara Holloway books. I'm sharing the books with a friend who is also not a mystery novel sort of person (her words), and she too is now addicted. Wonderful! And thanks for writing them! |

| Comments: | I am reading my first and last Kate Wilhelm book. I realize every writer has a right to use their books as vehicles for their beliefs and agendas, but this one is just so, so insulting to anyone of even moderate political beliefs. It's a shame. |

| Comments: | Thank you, Ms. Wilhelm for many wonderful reads. I always feel as if I am living in Eugene when I read your Barbara Holloway novels. What I read them for the most is the great relationship between Barbara and her father. I had a very close relationship with my dad and after reading the novels, I fantasize a little what it would have been like if he and I had been in the same profession.
We are blessed by your gift. |

| Comments: | I have thoroughly enjoyed discovering, then reading through, first the Barbara Holloway series, then the Meiklejohn/Leidl series. However, with respect to some of the latter, I have to comment that I am not keen on scifi as a genre. As an attorney, I particularly relished Holloway's keen sensitivity, believing that too many trial attorneys abound in ego and lack in the ability to watch, listen and perceive. I sure hope you add to her anthology! |

| Comments: | Hi Kate,
I have read four of your books and throughly enjoyed them. It is so nice to find books that are well written without all the trash talk in them. I am currently reading your Barbara Holloway series or I should say listening to them. I am also a transplant to Oregon and enjoy the books being set in the Eugene area. I hope you keep up the great work for a long time to come. Thanks, Kathy |

| Comments: | Hi, Kate Wilhelm.
I recently discovered your Barbara Holloway novels and read them all in a matter of weeks. I loved the detective work and courtroom scenes. For whole hours at a time my personal troubles melted away. The characters became familiar old friends, making the novels a comforting retreat. I enjoyed Barbara's companionable yet not unconflicted relationship with her father. Barbara's struggle for justice in a skewed system, her dedicated and virtually superhuman hard work, her brilliance, and her soul-searching in work and in love made her complex and human and inspirational. Thank you for these novels. |

| Comments: | I finished reading your bio on the computer, and was wondering, if you have more to add to it. I am in a reading group at our Church in Lake Oswego, and this month we chose to read books by you. I have been reading the Barabara Holloway series for a few years. I also thought it interesting you used one of the lawyers in A Wongful Death to have the name of Robert Crais. I am also a fan of his mysteries. On the back of Cold Case it said, "you were writing a new novel." Is it out yet? |

I am the activities coordinator at a senior retirement community in Eugene. We have had the honor of having writers come and talk to our very active residents (among them a number of writers). I wonder if you on occasion speak to groups such as these and if perhaps you would consider such an event. Thanks for the work you do and the enjoyment you have given our residents, my wife and myself! |

| Comments: | Hello Cousin Kate,
No, I'm not being overly familiar, or kidding either.Quite the opposite, actually. Your mother was my Great-Aunt Anne, and because I liked her so much, I put a picture of her, with Uncle Jesse, in a collage (of our shared Stuteville/Meredith ancestors) in my room. It suddenly came to me that you might like to have a copy of this picture, too. I'll have to ask my mom for the original to get a decent copy, and I'll try to nail down when it was taken. From their clothing and hair, I'm guessing the 30's would be about right. Jesse, was my maternal granny's rowdy little brother, and he looks the part, but Aunt Anne looks pretty much like a much younger version of herself as I knew her. She was one of my all-time favorite relatives, because she let us slide down her (carpeted) stairs on our bellies every time we went to her house. I remember the first time I could appreciate that all the screaming and laughing and pounding the stairwell took, didn't set her back a bit. She was cool, before I knew what cool was. If you are anything like either of them, I'm sorry I never knew you. I suppose you might like a picture of your grandmother Meredith too, (you look more like a Meredith than I do). Yikes,didn't mean to send you a manuscript. Thanks for your time. Let me know if there is a better email address to use. Sue |

| Comments: | Dear Ms.Wilhelm;
You will be the first author that I have signed a guestbook for and will be able to tell them how much I enjoy their books. I started with Desperate Measures and was so hooked that I've read all of your Barbara Holloway novels (can't find Cold Case!) One of the things that make reading your novels so personal and enyoyable is being able to visiualize the area you are talking about. I live in Idaho but have lived in Oregon also. One more thing I would like to say is your books, especially the Holloway books, make me hungry just reading about what her father, Frank, or some of the other characters are cooking for her! Best regards to a wonderful person for sharing such talent with people. |

I can't figure out how to question it so my questions make sense to people who believe in "just war". I'm making more than one assumption in addressing you in this way - and if I have guessed wrong about what you might think about these issues, I apologize. I would be happy to hear a response either way. |

| Comments: | I live in England now, but am a born and bred Oregonian, having lived on Mt. Hood and in Springfield. Most of the places Ms. Wilhelm refers to are places I know, including a description of one apartment complex where my oldest daughter once lived!
I have been listening to the Barbara Holloway series via audio books I download from the Clackamas County library and play while I work out or garden; once I start, I can't seem to stop! I echo someone's comment about the narrators not getting NW names right; it does grate a bit. Anna Fields is my favorite, though they are all good. I have never listened to an audio book before, and was not sure how I would like them, but I enjoy them very much. My husband and I travel the world extensively for work, and the next long trip to the US in a few weeks will be designated to introduce him to Barbara Holloway so he knows what I makes me zone out with a book on tape - he says I'm like a teenager, with headphones on, completely transfixed. He's British, but knows the area quite well, too, and I'm sure he'll enjoy them as much as I have, and I can't wait to tease him the way he's teased me! I can only hope to one day meet Kate Wilhelm; like many others, I feel as if I know her, just from reading her work. I have listened to all the Barbara Holloway books, and am now moving on to others. I hope they are all on tape, as it suits my current lifestyle. Thank you, Ms. Wilhelm, for allowing your books to be made available via library download. I would never have learned about your books otherwise. You are a fanastic writer and I find it delightful to hear stories about my 'heart home', Eugene/Springfield, which I miss so desperately! |

| Comments: | I have only found you this year but I can not put your books down. I often wonder where you get your keen knowledge of law and courtroom procedures. I thoroughly enjoy your writing. It is so fresh and each story so new. I am 80, born in '29, lost my husband in 2002- retired elementary principal. We have raised three sons and I have always lived in Coos County - went to the U. of O. and taught remedial subjects in the elementary cb schools for seven years, then retired to raise our three, went back but over to the Com.
College and taught in aBE-GED-ESl at the non-reader to 4th g. level. That was so rewarding, also. I still am amazed at how you weave your stories. I find I would rather read your books that just about anything. I do hope you are in good health and I am sorry you lost your husband, too. Sincerely, Laura Wade |

| Comments: | Kate Wilhelm is a wonderful writer. Unfortunately, she is also a member of the Author's Guild, the organization which is trying to ban the sale of used books, and also wants to ban the text-to-speech feature of the Amazon Kindle, in both cases claiming that these are "copyright" violations. If they have their way, it will be illegal for you to read a book out loud.
This deplorable and offensive policy disgusts me. I will not purchase any author's books who is a member of this guild, unless they publicly declare that they do NOT support this effort. |

| Comments: | I have been reading Kate Wilhelm's work since the 1970's. As a storyteller (TO has a thriving Storytelling community here) Cambio Bay, Juniper Time and The Good Children have a particular draw for me with their elements of myth and magic. (Coyote is an old acquaintance.)
Her Barbara Holloway mysteries draw me to a beautiful part of the world I have travelled in (I have a friend in Hood River) where the sense of place is every bit a character in these stories. Death Qualified is one of the books I re-visit. |

| Comments: | I just finished COLD CASE. I saved your last four novels to read one after the other, non-stop It was a great way to stay enthralled with the Holloway adventures. I truly love your writing. I started reading your books with WHERE THE SWEET BIRDS SING, which I loved. Since then, I simply can't pass up a Kate Wilhelm novel. The Holloway stories are special since I lived in Portland for 60-some years before moving to Sutter Creek, CA seven years ago, so I'm familiar with many of the places you write about. Needless to say, I'm now (im)patiently waiting for you next book. Best wishes to you and yours. |

| Comments: | 'preciate you work. I won't say how long ago I first read 'Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang' & 'Juniper Time' but they remain the best $1.75 expenditures of my life. Outside of my late mother, my wife, daughter and granddaughter, I consider you and Annie Dillaird two of the most influencial women in my life. Something about your work transcends itself, or at least affects me on a level I still do not fully understand. I intend to keep reading you both 'til I get it right. I know, probably not really possible ... |

| Comments: | I just recently found your works through our library's audio book site. I have listened to every single one of your Barbara Holloway series and still yearn for more. It is not often I find an author to keep me so engrossed!
I have a small suggestion. Blackstone audio books employs talented readers, but many have never lived in the NW. Perhaps you could give them a few hints on correct pronouncation of some of the NW area. ex: Willamette, Spokane and Siskiyou If you gave them a bit of a hint such as Wil lam et, Spo can and Sis cue they wouldn't say Will a met, Spo cane and Sissy cue. I just finished Skeltons today. I couldn't turn it off. A real audio "page turner". Thank you for all your efforts. You are truly talented. |

| Comments: | I've just been introduced to the Barbara Holloway stories and am entranced with the beauty of the language, the descriptions of beautiful Oregon scenes, the twists and turns of the stories. Having read several of the series, and knowing that I am just a year older than Ms. Wilhelm, I thank her for giving me so many enjoyable hours of reading. |

I'm in Corvallis (but do get down to Eugene to eat at Papa's Soul Food Kitchen). Does anyone know if Kate Wilhelm does any book signings? |

| Comments: | Kate, Having been born and raised until age 11 in Eugene (on Oak Street-big white house)and mother/aunt raised there I was attracted to your books.
I am on my second one (Desperate Measures) and enjoying it thoroughly. What surprised me what the making fun of Barbara Walters...her having an odd lisp is not her fault, anymore than my nephews cerebral palsey. I am game for funning, and having odd characters in books, but I would not make fun of your character Alex-his situation is not under his control. Thanks for writing your books, and thanks for reading this. Aloha, Nicole |

I read that book over and over and over. I am looking for a copy now . Thank you for your life. Sincerely , Deborah |

| Comments: | Just finished reading "Sleight of Hand" and loved the story but was distracted by the reference to "University of Ohio" in Columbus (page 123). No such thing. Ohio State University in Columbus (I graduated from there) and Ohio University in Athens. Neither one ever called -University of- so surprised to see you were born in Toledo and not know this... |

| Comments: | I've just finished "Sleight Of Hand". As usual with your novels it will stick with me for a long time. This is the second reading and I rediscovered the central theme of the whole book "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. All else is commentary." I live at a Zen Center in North Carolina. Suffering, as you probably know, is the first noble truth in Buddhism. For some reason the two phrases connect in my mind. For this I thank you. Brad |

BOOKLOVERS CONVENTION April 22-26, 2009 Orlando, Fla. Wyndham-Orlando Resort Dear Ms. Wilhelm, We have selected the winners for our 2008 Career Achievement Awards and you have won for your body of work creating outstanding Mystery Series for the Barbara Holloway series. A heartfelt congratulations from Romantic Times BOOKreviews and all of our reviewers. All the winners will be announced in our June issue of Romantic Times BOOKreviews magazine #304. Our Awards Ceremony will be held in Orlando, Friday, April 24, 2009 and I would like to know if you will be attending so that we can include you in the Awards Program and Awards Power Point Presentation which we are currently working on. Also, unfortunately because of time constraints, if you do NOT attend you will not be able to have someone accept the award on your behalf. This is a policy we have implemented a few years back and will continue. However, your name will be in the June issue as an Award Winner and will also appear on our website awards' archives as a 2008 winner. • If you wish to attend the Awards Reception ONLY there is no cost to you (except your hotel room if you are staying overnight). • If you want to attend the entire convention (five-day event) the registration fee is $490 which includes all the workshops, meal functions, parties, events and participating at the Book Fair. • If you would like to attend the Awards Ceremony and also be a part of the autographing at the Book Fair on Saturday, April 25 the cost is $225 for the table. Also, if YOU WANT TO be a part of the Book Fair, you MUST contact our convention director, Jo Carol Jones ( JoCarol@RTConvention.com ), ASAP because she is in the process of ordering the books for the event and she will need to know which titles you want at your table. Barnes and Noble is facilitating the Book Fair and will not accept orders beyond the deadline which is fast approaching. If you are planning on attending our convention to accept your award in person please contact me ASAP in a reply to this email so that I can include you in the program and the power point presentation. We are expecting over 1000 attendees this year and 1000-2000 locals to come out to meet the authors at the Book Fair, which will be heavily promoted in Orlando and vicinity and I sincerely hope you will be able to join us. The winners’ names will not be made public until the June issue but feel free to celebrate with close friends and family. We just don’t want it to be posted anywhere until the June issue hits bookstores end of April. Congratulations again and I look forward to hearing from you.

| Comments: | I really enjoy your writing. I've not yet read all your books, but have enjoyed Barbara Holloway and at least one of your other mysteries. I hope to catch up on reading all your books.
I live in Portland OR, but attended the U of O in the late 60s and early 70s. It is fun to revisit Eugene in your stories, and wish I could visit in person more often. Thanks for your writing. Mary Kay |
