Cool new stuff

I wanted to share this cool Ad Liam and Cam worked up for the Noircon program. Both Cam and I will be making it to the city of brotherly love in November to spread the word about Crimefactory (and, of course, our own various writing projects)If you haven't heard about Noircon, check it out right HERE for further info.

Also, I got to spend a few hours with John Rector tonight at the Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale and then for a drink and some good conversation afterward. Without question Rector is one hell of a cool dude and a amazing writer to boot. If you haven't checked out John's debut, the Cold Kiss, yet, I encourage you to get yourself down to a bookstore ASAP and pick it up. The Cold Kiss currently ranks as one of my favorite reads of 2010 so far (And if you're not convinced by my minor opinion, check out the Nerd of Noir's review over at Spinetingler right HERE.) and I'm not just blowing smoke up your ass with this one, folks.

Alright, I know just about everyone has heard about Frank Bill's two book deal with FSG by now, but I figured I'd add my voice to the chorus of praise that's been bouncing around the net. I've known Frank for almost three years now, I've published alongside him in Plots with Guns, Pulp Pusher, and Beat to a Pulp, I've published him and will continue to publish whatever he sends Crimefactory's way, and we've exchanged what seems like a thousand or so e-mails, and honestly, I couldn't be prouder of the dude.
You're the man, Frank!

And last but least, if you're on the old faceybook, you should click right HERE to become a fan. We've only had the page up for about a week and we've already got about 250 fans, but we're always looking for more. So make sure to stop on by.

Alright, gang, I've got about a thousand e-mails to send out and some writing to get around to, so I'll see you next time
