Em: So glad you liked the first 50. Don't worry--I'll make sure you get an ARC in a month or so!

Good meeting you in LA, but boy, are you an expensive date? :-)

I'm thinking of looking up that earlier work of yours and sampling one of everything you mixed up there (151, was it?), but then maybe, I'll just stay topical and grab a case of Dead Guy Ale.

At 1:19pm on March 26, 2007, Duane Swierczynski said…: Judith, your English kicks the living hell out of my French.

And Manchette was a myth? Say it isn't so!

At 12:25pm on March 26, 2007, Duane Swierczynski said…: I love all of the books you mentioned, Judith. If you forced me to pick my absolute Fred Brown (and nice backwards reference, by the way!) favorites, I'd have to say NIGHTMARES & GEEZENSTACKS, his unbelievable collection of short-shorts, and HIS NAME WAS DEATH.

I think you should run a French class here at Crimespace. There are at least 10 untranslated Jean-Patrick Manchette novels I want to read before I die, as well as this David Goodis biography I have on my shelf...

At 7:32am on March 25, 2007, Dave White said…: So I'm sitting here and I'm saying to myself, "Hey, I wonder what my mentor is up to." And what do I see?

He's holding the fucking place up with a gun...

All right, everyone stay calm. He really likes beer.

And talk sports. If you talk sports, he'll go to sleep.

At 1:44pm on March 21, 2007, JackBludis said…: How can a hardboiled writer go wrong with those favorites?

At 1:32am on March 21, 2007, Mary Reagan said…: Love your approach to the favorite writers section.

At 1:45am on March 15, 2007, Duane Swierczynski said…: Jon, I want a new car. Something that goes really fast and gets shitty gas mileage. And I want a recount. And no matter how it turns out, I want my old job back!

At 11:25pm on March 14, 2007, Mary L. Wheeling said…: Duane, my Philly Gun Guide. I mean FUN guide. Hope you're staying out of trouble. Ish.

At 2:55pm on March 14, 2007, Jon Jordan said…: Ok Duane, you can put the gun down now...
Just look at me, don't look over there, look at me..

come on, just put the gun down, you don't really want to hurt anybody do you?
