I am frantically working to get two Heller chapters done (I’m in the middle of the first of the two) before leaving for Bouchercon on Thursday morning.
Here’s our Bouchercon schedule:
Barb’s panel (she is the moderator) is at 9.m. Friday. It’s about geriatric crime fighters: MYSTERY MATURES.
MAC’s panel (not moderating) (also not moderate) is at 11:30 a.m., also on Friday: MANFICTION (not my fault).
No room numbers, but if you’re attending, it won’t be tough to find us.
There is a new e-book from Top Suspense, WRITING CRIME FICTION, with chapters by all the members on various topics. Mine is on writing Historical Fiction. It just came out today, so snag it:
And here’s a terrific advance review of TARGET LANCER from that fine crime writer, Bill Crider.
Check out the Big Thrill’s TARGET LANCER write-up here.
And this is a really cool, smart review of the new Mike Hammer short story, “Skin.”
Finally, this nice interview with my Hard Case editor, Charles Ardai, discusses the re-discovery of the final James M. Cain novel, the recently pubbed THE COCKTAIL WAITRESS. Charles is kind enough to mention my role in bringing this important dark novel to the light.
