at Norwescon with Stina Leicht

lastdrinkbirdheadAnd it’s live! My little 3 to 3 interview series for Green Man and the Sleeping Hedgie rolls Rayguns Over Texasonward with a nice bit from author Stina Leicht. Stina has a couple novels out, but also a couple short stories. My subversive little anthologist’s heart prompts me to post beautiful anthology covers like these, both of which contain stories by my interviewee.

Of Stina: “When she was small she wanted to grow up to be like Vincent Price. Unfortunately, there are no basements in Texas — thus, making it difficult to wall up anyone alive under the house.”

Rock on, sweet Texas, rock on.

Mini-interview of Ken Scholes

long walksRemember that little mini-interview series I started a while ago over at The Green Man Review’s sister site, Sleeping Hedgehog? I’ve been calling the series 3 to 3, posing 3 questions apiece to three fellow attending pros at various literary events. The latest of these has just gone live, wherein I chat with Ken Scholes, author of this book, this book, and this book, among others.

Does the proximity of the phrase sky bridge to the phrase booze and book wagon affect you in any special way? Me too.

3 to 3: Norwescon 2014 with Ken Scholes

Hello, NYC

I’ll be in and around New York City this week, soaking up big city sunshine and doing Fun Stuff in honor of the 2014 Edgar Awards. I’ve also agreed to cover the Book Launch party for the MWA’s Newest Anthology Ice Cold for The Green Man Review / Sleeping Hedgehog. From the Mystery Writers of America announcement about the event:Ice-Cold-Anthology-Cover

On Tuesday, April 29th, we will be launching our newest anthology, Ice Cold, edited by Jeffery Deaver and Raymond Benson. The launch party will be held at The Mysterious Bookshop, 58 Warren Street, New York, NY. Phone number is: 212-587-1011. The event will begin at 6:00 p.m. and many of the contributors are scheduled to appear. In addition, many of the 2014 Edgar® Award nominees will also be at the bookstore.

… And me! I’ll be there! Though you won’t know me because I’ll be incognito. If you do see through my clever disguise, tell me to buy you a drink, and I will! ‘Cause good sleuthing deserves to be rewarded.

 

Late Night Debut with co-host Daniel H. Wilson

 

So that really great  — and by great I mean I had a total blast — Late Night Library recording I made at the gorgeous downtown Literary Arts space for the Late Night Debut is out and about in the world! Late Night Debut host Amber Keller = amazing. Co-host Daniel H. Wilson = amazing.  BLACK MOON, by Kenneth Calhoun = yes, amazing.

 

About the author and the audiocast from the Late Night Library site:

press-Kenneth-Calhoun“There’s a connection between the notion of the soul—or the subconscious, let’s say, in more psychological terms—and our humanity, and those things are articulated to us in the form of dreams.”

Act 1: Host Amber Keller covers controversial and entertaining book stories in the news
Act 2: Co-host authors Daniel H. Wilson and Alex C. Renwick discuss Kenneth’s debut
Act 3: Daniel talks with Kenneth about tapping into one’s dreams, the ability to sleep like a champ, and what happens when we lose both
