A Crime Fiction Twitter Directory

I've noticed folks putting various Twitter author directories together lately. I thought if I found one that represented the crime fiction authors well, I'd link to it here. I haven't come across one...not to say there isn't one, I just haven't stumbled on it myself. So, I thought I'd put one together myself of the crime fiction industry folks I'm aware of on Twitter. Then if you know of some others that I'm missing, let me know in the comments and I'll get them added on the list and I'll probably also follow them on my own Twitter account. Just a note, there are other authors on Twitter, but if they haven't been active since, say July, I didn't include them on my list. Each of their twitter names is linked directly to their Twitter page, so if you'd like to follow them, you can easily click on the link and follow!
