PLUG-A-RAMA LAMA DING DONG
As you may or may not know, I've got a real blog out there at http://thrillingdetectiveblog.blogspot.com/, but for those of you who haven't wandered over to the THRILLING DETECTIVE BLOG, here's a recap of my latest message there:
JACK OF ALL MEDIA (MASTER OF NONE)
My recent appearance in a Los Angeles Times profile by journalist Scott Timberg, where he grilled me on on LA crime writer Robert Crais, was evidently just a warm-up act.

The Best Private Eyes of the Last Twenty Years or So...
I know they're out there, but who are they? There are the obvious ones, the usual suspects that anyone rumbling through this Crimespace scene could pick put of any lineup.
But what about those private gumshoes that rocked our world but never quite made the big time? Or made it, and then quietly slipped away? What about the coulda-been and the shoulda-been contenders? The one-shot wonders?
I'm doing an article, and it isn't so much who I include that I worry about; it's… Continue

- Hey, Kevin - For someone who uses a beer bottle (even a stubby) as a self-portrait, you have some nerve complaining about my cat.

- And hey, Yvonne! How're tricks?

- Am I the only one who vets my "friends"? in the last few days, I've had several requests from spammers and wingnuts who have absolutely no interest in crime fiction.
Don't encourage them. Reject them right off. Let's keep crimespace for crime.
I'm also sort of ticked off that some folks change their profile photos -- after being accepted as a "friend" -- to plug their books or whatever product they're selling, turning my page into a billboard.
But that's me...

- Now there's a blast from the past - how the hell are you? Of course I'll be ton amie.

- Newt! Good to hear from you! I know you're not going to believe this but I accidentally deleted your chatter. Could you please re-post? (The "delete" button" is where my e-mail program has a "reply" button.)
