Holy crap--I'm going to be on NPR.

Linda Wertheimer's going to interview me for Morning Edition's "Crime in the City" feature. They've done interviews with lots of actual famous people--from Chelsea Cain to Robert B. Parker. Why they want to talk to me is anybody's guess. We'll do a kind of walking tour of Provincetown and talk about some of the locations in the books. No idea when it will air--soon-ish, I hope.

MATING SEASON now available in stores.

Or so I'm told. A fine thing--when the first one came out it was evidently very hard to find. Official release date is 4/28; that's when Amazon will ship pre-orders, I think. Continue

Publisher's Weekly reviews MATING SEASON

Mating Season Jon Loomis. Minotaur, $24.95 (304p) ISBN 978-0-312-36770-1 Det. Frank Coffin and his partner, Sgt.
