When I open my Crimespace page (which for some reason I keep reading as CrimeSpree) there's this big, pale yellow box telling me I haven't posted a blog yet...so...Okay...I'm blogging.
Now, if you came by to see if I have anything deep and meaningful to talk about you might as well count this as ten minutes you'll never get back...or however long it will take to read. I guess I just don't "get" the whole blogging thing. I'd rather talk to a live…

Less than a week has passed since the last episode aired and, at the risk of coming over all ‘Doris’ I’m already missing the splendid Life on Mars.…

Partying is not all I've done in the last couple of weeks. My signing at The Book Space inside the State Department headquarters building was both great fun and a solid success. My Stark and O'Brien books went over well there because I met folks who had been stationed in…

First day back at work - argghh!!! Though actually it hasn't been as horrific as I'd feared. I even got all my emails cleared by about 11.30am, which was nice. A ruddy miracle too! And the blessed Ruth had saved me some small chocolate eggs from Easter and left them on my desk as a welcome back, so I could have married her and had her babies there and then. Not only that but she'd left a large chocolate egg in the fridge, so it's like heaven in Student Care Services at the moment. Chocolate…

My wife was giving me strange looks yesterday. Okay, she might have had a good reason. I was laughing out loud several times while reading The Deep Blue Alibi by Paul Levine. Levine has a talent for the creatively ridiculous that brings me to stitches, not unlike the works of Carl Hiassen, Catch-22 by Joseph Heller or The World According to Garp by John Irving.
If anyone has any other humorous favorites, let me know.

I am very pleased to announce that Edinburgh writer and editor Tony Black's online zine of criminally good writing, Pulp Pusher, is now live at www.pulppusher.com.
I am a minnow in an internet pond that features Ken Bruen and Allan Guthrie.
I hope you have the chance to enjoy a little free noir.

There's something immensely satisfying about reading a book that tackles some very tricky subject matter head-on, with enough of the
gory details to illustrate rather than titivate and just the right
level of gallows humour. BROKEN SKIN is the third book…

I’m just coming down from my annual birthday weekend celebration, during which I make it a point to over-indulge in all important ways. It is a practical method of testing the limits of the systems. I’m happy to report that once again I managed to avoid the dreaded fate in the drinking rhyme - One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor.....

Cast of Shadows takes a small handful of issues, cloning and stem cell research chief among them, and crafts a tale that
that launches from a simple premise and becomes a multifaceted discussion that
is at times moral, scientific and religious. The premise and its exploration
prove to be an effective evaluation of these difficult issues without any real
political or religious bias.
The story is told over 20+ years, during which…

“I love this dirty town.” Possibly the meanest movie ever made, and definitely one of my personal favorites. Burt Lancaster plays J. J. Hunsecker, a powerful, soulless Walter Winchell-esque columnist who can make or break anybody in the public eye in ten words or less. Pretty boy Tony Curtis is his bitch as Sydney Falco, a hungry young press agent who makes a meager living…

The terse, clipped prose moves the story along at a fast pace. The first part of Ice follows three characters through their lives as they are awakened
and after the awakening has taken place. They are plucked from all walks of
life and economic backgrounds. Not only do we get to witness first hand the at
times brutal awakenings but we also get a nice cross section of Russian life.
The second part of the novel threats us to a lengthy first person account of
how…

Spring is back!
Wonder of wonders we have a beautiful Spring day in the Chicago area. I and many of my neighbors were out looking for an excuse to enjoy the day, as witnessed by the sight of so many people walking their dogs and so many children and parents congregating at the nearby park.
In between making sure my dog didn't do her duty on someone else's lawn, I was able to once again observe Seasonal evidence. More sunshine, greener grass, more birds singing and flying in…
