The Living Room of the Dead by Eric Stone
Bleak House Books, 2007

Thinking of moving to Canada, can't stand the fires here in Los Angeles. Got any suggestions for a kewl place to live. Thinking of producing some film, too!

Best thoughts,

Eva Batonne

Visually interesting page!
Best wishes with your writing endeavors.

At 2:57pm on June 6, 2008, Eric Stone said…: Thanks for your thanks, Ange. I'm glad to see Christa on your list of favorites. She's a neighbor, good friend, and we cruise the boulevards of East L.A. in search of tacos together from time to time.

I like your "about me" section. "smoke slowly rising from my crib" is my kind of evocative.

Being in Canada, you might be interested in knowing that my book that's coming out in October is loosely based on the Bre-X gold fraud (sort of Canada's Enron) which I covered as a journalist in Indonesia.

At 11:41pm on June 5, 2008, David L. Hoof said…: But there actually is, or was, a famous and memorable John Connolly. He was the Texas governor riding with JFK on that fateful November day in 1963, and took a nonlethal bullet. For most folks, I think, John -- by being in the wrong place at the wrong time -- became more memorable. I don't think that Michael would have wanted to trade places.

At 5:16am on June 5, 2008, David L. Hoof said…: It's Michael Connelly, not John. He's a client of Philip Spitzer, as is James Lee Burke.
Welcome.

At 7:56am on June 4, 2008, Christa Faust said…: That quote you posted on my page about hardboiled eggs is from Billy Wilder's brilliant Ace in the Hole, one of my favorite Film Noirs of all time.

Anyway welcome to Crimespace.
