Patricia Harrington, longtime MWA member in Seattle, WA, has some fun books featuring Bridget O'Hern Amateur Sleuth Series with her pet dog that I think are worth checking out. Thanks for letting me add my two cents. Dawn

I just posted a few of these suggestions on the myspace page. Thanks again. I don't know if anyone actually follows through and buys any books but let's hope so.<br />

Aw thanks John - they also said "I really don't know how it got published and I still can't believe that the well produced volume in such an attractive cover could be so inane and such a con." so don't believe everything John tells you :o) I need to tell my mother to stop posting reviews on Amazon...

Point Blank Press has been mentioned, but not yet Donna Moore's <i>Go To Helena Handbasket</i>. How does this sound:<br />
<br />
Bridget Jones meets Raymond Chandler meets Jeffrey Dahmer. That's what an <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Go-Helena-Handbasket-Donna-Moore/dp/0809557363">Amazon</a> review said. It also said, "Sam Spade in a skirt on acid."<br />
<br />
Yesterday I saw someone wearing a t-shirt that said, "Where are we going and why are we in this handbasket?"

Goodness - it's not often people agree with me - I shall savour the moment :o)<br />
<br />
Eric - there are so many great small presses. I love searching out small press books. and any site/blog that seeks to do that is fine by me :o) The more recommendations the merrier! I've found some excellent books by reading a small press book, loving it, and then looking at what else the press publishes. Of course, sometimes it works the other way... ;o)

I agree with Donna, too. The funny thing is, THE BIG O was also published in hardback by Harcourt, and many folks may not know the Hag's Head edition is the true first.

Anything by <b>Busted Flush Press,</b><br />
<br />
Declan Burke's THE BIG O from <b>Hag's Head Press</b>, also, if you can track down his EIGHT BALL BOOGIE from <b>The Lilliput Press</b> it's brilliant.<br />
<br />
<b>Serpent's Tail</b> - Charlie William's DEADFOLK, FAGS AND LAGER and KING OF THE ROAD, any of the reprints from Derek Raymond or David Goodis, books by Daniel Chavarria, the Ken Bruens they publish<br />
<br />
<b>No Exit Press</b> - not fiction but Max Decharne's HARDBOILED HOLLYWOOD, anything by Daniel…

<br />
<b>No Exit Press</b> - not fiction but Max Decharne's HARDBOILED HOLLYWOOD, anything by Daniel Woodrell<br />
<br />
<b>Bitter Lemon Press</b> - loads of great international authors, including Tonino Benacquista, Giampiero Rigosi, Gianrico Carofiglio, Jorg Fauser, Friedrich Glauser<br />
<br />
John McFetridge's DIRTY SWEET from, I think, <b>Harvest Books</b><br />
<br />
<b>The Do-Not-Press</b> - Ken Bruen, Paul Charles<br />
<br />
<b>Birlinn/Polygon</b> - anything by Al Guthrie or Ray Banks<br />
<br />
<b>Point Blank</b> - Al Guthrie and Ray Banks again, Duane Swierczynski's SECREET DEAD MEN, Anthony Neil Smith's PSYCHOSOMATIC and a wonderful reprint of Jame's McKimmey's SQUEEZE PLAY<br />
<br />
<b>Stark House</b> - I love their reprints of some of the noir/hardboiled stuff<br />
<br />
And, of course, <b>Hard Case Crime</b>.<br />
<br />
Any boy, do I miss <b>UglyTown</b>. They came out with a wonderful edition of one of my all time favourite books - Eddie Muller's THE DISTANCE. And, of course, Victor Gischler's GUN MONKEYS.<br />
<br />
Errrr...whall I stop there? :o)
