SEA MINOR

Hey now, THIS this was fun! Nigel Bird (one of the nicest guys you'll ever come across) and I had a ton of fun with this quasi interview/short story/something. We just winged it and let go of the reins. By the way, when you're over there, check out Nigel's growing collection of books he's written. He's nice and talented as hell....I'd settle for being one of those.

Anyway, very fun and very thankful to Nigel putting it up over at his place, Sea Minor. And I mean wayyy over at his place.

Thanks again Nigel.

Interview over at Noir Nation

Eddie Vega of NOIR NATION stopped by (okay, virtually -- this is the age of the Internet, after all) and asked me a few questions. I answered honestly, which of course shows my naivete...but hey.

[Yeah, I stole the 'but hey' from Jim but he's a great writer and it works, so hey.]

Back to the interview. It is focused on the release of Queen of Diamonds, the second book Jim and I wrote together. However, Vega asks some great questions and it was fun and thought-provoking to answer them.
For the interview, go here.

NOIR NATION, which features the tag line of "Crime fiction, film noir, and tattoos", is a cool place to hang out, and has been for a couple of years now. In addition to the blog that features news and interviews like mine, Vega publishes short fiction collections in a magazine format, and crime novels. With Vega's nose for good crime stories, your odds of hitting pay dirt on a title he endorses are pretty high.

So check out the interview and stay for the party!

Story At The Big Adios

I'm awful proud to have a series up currently at The Big Adios. Many thanks to Ron for accepting my long short story Thin Shafts of Light. Parts One, Two and Three are up so far. Really like you to stop over there and check it out. Ron's done a great job with The Big Adios and the western stories and authors he's featuring make me feel lucky to be there.

KWIK KRIMES

Well, if 81 short stories written by some of the very best authors out there sounds like good reading to you, then by all means click HERE.

I received my two free copies yesterday and I'm thrilled and honored to be in this one. And lucky. To even be there. There's a reason my story is last - besides the alphabetical order thing.

When you read the author list it's pretty damn impressive. Edited by Otto Penzler. Big names, big talent. Kindle price of $3.99! Talk about a bargain.

New Review

Chris Leek has written and posted a new review for Queen of Diamonds over at Out of the Gutter. Find the review here.

This means a helluva lot to me (and Frank). A talented writer that I admire greatly, taking the time to read and review my book, is not something to be taken for granted. I sure don't. Chris has stories everywhere as I'm sure you know. Read them and you'll be better for it. 

Thanks for the review and kind words Chris - glad you enjoyed the book.
