Hi
folks,
A
few news items… I’m privileged to have a story in the just-released anthology,
LAST WORD, edited by Liam Sweeny. All proceeds will go to the Nation Inside
organization, a coordinating organization that unites national efforts to pass
prison reform measures. I am proud to say that it was my own ugly self who recommended this
group to Liam when he was casting about for a worthwhile charity to devote the
proceeds to. So, for both a great read of stories from a truly all-star lineup
of crime writers and to support a worthy cause, glom onto a copy today. Just click on the cover image.
And
then yesterday… one of my personal favorite stories was published in the Beat
to a Pulp webzine. I wrote “The Best of Friends” years ago and it appeared
first in the prestigious High Plains Literary Review, was nominated for a
Pushcart Prize, and nominated for Houghton-Mifflin’s “Best American Mystery
Stories” series. It was also included in my first short story collection, Monday’s Meal, published by the
University of North Texas Press and nominated for the Violet Crown Book Award.
So,
swing over to David Cranmer’s superb pulp fiction site, Beat to a Pulp, and
check it out.
Just
got notified by the Indiana Historical Society that I’ve been selected to be
one of the authors appearing at the 13th Annual Holiday Author Fair
at the Eugene and Marilyn Glick Indiana History Center in Indianapolis, on
Saturday, December 5. The address is the Indiana Historical Society, 450 West
Ohio Street, Indianapolis, IN 46202. If you’re in town, it will be a free
admission day and I’ll be signing books from noon until 5 pm. After that, just look for the closest bar. I'll probably be there, unwinding...
Blue
skies,
Les
