I’m Off

I’m off to NYC, doing a last minute sweep and clear to get my dad packed up and moved out. I probably won’t have time to post till I get back, but in the meanwhile, check out cozy rebel Sue Ann Jaffarian’s post about subgenre labels, our combined book launch, the cozy vs. noir kafuffle and why you should just read.

More on that later.

Torture Porn

So, I’ve finally risen from my bed of pain. It’s been too damn long since my last post. For starters, thanks to all the big booty ladies who offered to nurse me. Sadly, I have simply not been fit for polite (or otherwise) company. I do hope you’ll all come out and represent at my big book release bash at the Mystery Bookstore in Westwood on February 3rd.

the owner of the location was stuck behind the flaming truck pile up on

the 5 freeway. I'm in the process of rescheduling but it looks like it

The Wire

As

in getting down to it. There’s a week left until my latest deadline.

Six days, actually, since I will be shooting my book trailer on

Saturday and probably won’t get much else accomplished that day. This

deadline’s for another ghost project. Literary Black Ops. If I told you

about it, I’d have to kill you. You know the drill.
