Noble Lies

has been named a finalist for

Book of the Year

by ForeWord Magazine

Winners will be announced May 29th at BookExpo America in Los Angeles. Wish me luck (see page 71 of Relative Danger for the ironic connection)

Noble Lies and Relative Danger

available as Audiobooks

Blackstone Audio Books offers them in CD, cassett and MP3 digital download formats. Patrick Lawlor is the voice of Relative Danger and Malcolm Hillgartner works his magic on Noble Lies. Both gents had me glued to my speakers - and I wrote the damn things!

Old news - but good news

Read the review of Out of Order in a recent issue of Life in the Finger Lakes, the glossy coffee-table quarterly that showcases all the best stuff of the region.

Check this out - me, making the TV rounds. And a neat feature article from the Elmira Star-Gazette

And check out the great review in Mystery Scene Magazine. 

India Ink, an essay on India as a great setting for a mystery, appeared in Mystery Readers Journal (Vol. 22, No. 2, Summer, 2006).

Other Neat Stuff

Click here to read a wonderful essay about the highly addictive world of book collecting. Written by my friend and medical fact checker, Dr. Lou Boxer, this essay appeared in the official program for Bouchercon held last summer in Chicago. (And thanks to Dr. B for the permission to reprint it here.)

And finally...

Do you own a book store? Are you a member of a book club? Do you work at a library? I know a mystery author who'd love to do a signing, lead a discussion or just chat about his book - and all for free! Yeah, it's me, but that shouldn't stop you! Drop me a note and we'll set it all up.
