Secret Dead Blog Presents: Allan Guthrie Week

The Discovery Channel has "Shark Week." So why not a week dedicated to master noir stylist (and the author of the forthcoming Hard Man) Al "Sunshine" Guthrie? As I type these words, Sunshine and the lovely Mrs. Sunshine are flying over the Atlantic, making a beeline for America. This Wednesday, Sunshine will be part of a "Tartan Noir" panel along with Ian Rankin and Denise Mina. And since Secret Dead Blog is serving as moderator, I'll be sure to bring you all of the exciting, behind-the-scenes stuff you crave (e.g., Sunshine's sure-to-be-demanding tour rider, which is rumored to include a "bucket of sweet cream made from the milk of wombats" and "vegetarian haggis... yes, you cuntjobbies, I said vegetarian haggis, go on now, figure it the fuck out").

But that's not all. The Sunshines will be spending part of their trip at the Secret Dead Blog Headquarters, so I will do my best to force Mr. Guthrie to guest blog now and again. We may even do one of those live blog Q&As again. So leave any questions you might have in the commments section below, and if Sunshine gets his precious wombat sweet cream, he might be in a good enough mood to answer them. I'll even try to make him give away an advance copy of Hard Man (or two).

And yes, there will be photos.

    Okay, no photos. Maybe you'd prefer pictograms? Or a nice charcoal rendering?

    I understand the wombat sweet cream on Mr. Guthrie's rider, I just don't know how you're going to manipulate them little teats with your fat Pollack fingers.

    On the wombat, I mean, not Mr. Guthrie.

    I take exception to that remark, Mr. Terrenoire. My fingers look nothing like Neal Pollack's.

    Guthrie week?

    How the hell did he get a whole week?

    (I'd settle for a long weekend.)
