427 - Adrenaline Junkie by Les Edgerton

427 - Adrenaline Junkie by Les Edgerton: So this is the second time we're reviewing a memoir, which is always an odd proposition, because you're essentially agreeing to review someone's life. I think this turned out pretty nice, and we'll be interviewing Les in the coming weeks as well. Check it out and come back next week for another book - An Anonymous Girl by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen.

Overlooked podcast!

HI folks,

I have no idea how this happened, but yesterday by accident, I "found" a podcast by the great folks at Booked, Livius and Robb, where they reviewed my novel, Bomb! I have no idea how I missed this, but I did. I'd like to share it with you here, if I may.

These guys are really good and I don't say that because they give my books great reviews, but because they give a ton of writers great reviews. They know their stuff and it's always a great pleasure to encounter reviewers who really do "get it."

Please click on the link and give 'em a listen. Thank you.

NOIR@BAR IN INDY on November 16!

Hi folks,

Just received this from CJ Edwards who is arranging and hosting a Noir@Bar event in Indianapolis where myself and a bunch of noir writer friends will be appearing to read our work and hang out with friends and pop a top or three. I’m really excited about this event and hope to see a lot of friends, not only reading but in the audience. If you haven’t been to a Noir@the Bar happening yet, you’re in for a truly fantastic treat. Not your mother’s poetry reading…

A special treat is that Jed Ayres and Scott Phillips who started all this Noir @ the Bar business from St. Louis will be reading!

(Noir @ the Bar in St. Louis participants)

The confirmed line up for Noir @ The Bar Indianapolis is:

Scott Phillips

Daniel O'Shea

Les Edgerton

Jed Ayres

David James Keaton 

James Ward Kirk

CJ Edwards

Word is that the famous (or infamous) Booked Podcast folks will be there to record the festivities and conduct interviews with the participants.

 

And there may be several other noir notables joining us to read—keep tuned in for announcements!

CJ says: This will be on Saturday Nov. 16 at 7pm and will most likely be at the Fountain Square Brewery at 1301 Barth Ave. This may change if we can't find enough chairs. I have been told that the Brewery doesn't have chairs...Any changes to the location will be made known ASAP.




Be there or… you know…

Blue skies,
Les

P.S. And yes... there will be drinking... What we refer to, technically, as LOTS OF DRINKING...
