Hi
folks,
Well,
Bouchercon is just around the corner and I’ll be heading to Raleigh… dang! I
can never remember if that's in South Carolina or North Carolina… anyway, it’s one
or the other. I’ll be rooming again with my buddy Jack Getze who keeps me
laughing the whole time.
Jack with another of his always clever headbands and one of his fantastic novels!
Lots
of stuff happening there! I’ll be reading some of my stuff at the Noir at the
Bar event, organized by a great writer—Eryk Pruitt, author of HASHTAG and some
other terrific stuff—and it kicks off at 7 pm Thursday, Oct. 8 a… you guessed
it!... a bar! Looks like a special one—a bunch of old friends and a couple of
soon-to-be-new-ones. If you’re in the right Raleigh, stop in for a great time!
The
next day, I’m on a panel they’re calling “Rough, tough tales for tough readers”
and it’s emceed by Eric Beetner and the panelists are myself, Chris Pavone, Tom
Young and Trey Barker. This one’s gonna be really cool!
Sometime
in the afternoon after my panel, Jack Getze and I are going to be interviewed
by Tom Pitts for the world-wide show Authors on the Air. Rumor is that the
lovely hostess of this series, Pam Stack, is coming up from Florida to see if
Jack and I live up to our billing as “The World’s Most Handsome Writer and His Faithful Sidekick, Jack"… This is a big, big deal for us. Tom recently did an
on-air chat with Benjamin Whitmer that got a quarter of a million hits! What we
Texans call “high cotton.”
After
I get back, I’ll head on down to Naptown in December to do a booksigning with a
bunch of Indiana writers, including an old friend, Michael Martone and a bunch
of others. If you’re in town, stop on by!
My German publisher, Frank Nowatzke just let me know that The Rapist is going to be released very soon. I can't wait to hold it in my hot little hand!
Got
some big news that should be coming any day now. One’s a supersecret project I’ve
been asked to take part in and I’m sworn to secrecy but will let you know the
minute I’m allowed to. It’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever been privileged
to take part in and I’m dying to let everyone know what’s going on, but… soon!
Blue
skies,
Les
