Both of the Emily Hunter series ebooks are a killer deal for .99 cents each. Maybe we can beat the algorithms with this deal.

Bouchercon in New Orleans was a blast. One of the most memorable moments was when librarian Bibi Sandstrom from the Elting Memorial Library in New Paltz, New York gave me a card from the library’s card catalog for Face of Greed. So special!

Had a great chat with Nick Kolakowski about his new book, Where the Bones Lie. Great noir fiction and Nick talks about how he creates memorable characters.
