With real datelines and everything! Like, from around the country!PHILADELPHIA, PA—The City of Brotherly Love is set to embrace some deep darkness when "NoirCon" kicks off 11 months from now. Brought to you by the same people who served up this year's boffo "GoodisCon," this weekend of words n' woe is rumored to be honoring hardboiled/noir publishing legend Dennis McMillan, as well as Ken Bruen, our noir brother from another (Irish) mother. Full details can be found at the official "NoirCon" website. Dig that crazy smoldering cigarette!
BATON ROGUE, LA—He's back! Fresh off a smash performance of his Shotgun Opera, here comes perennial primate protagonist (he's no lemur lover, folks) Victor Gischler with news of a hot new book deal. Look for Go Go Girls of the Apocalypse to wipe the competition off the face of the earth next summer!
NEW YORK, NY—The Big Apple won't be the same after Swierczy takes a slice out of it! Word has it that a limited number of advance reading copies of his latest, Severance Package, will be available at BookExpo America (BEA to you nutty insider publishing types) on June 2nd. Want to snag a blood-soaked, autographed copy? Stop by the Mystery Writers of America booth (#2750, natch) at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday and Swierczy will hook you up! (While supplies last.)
Holy shit is it hard to keep that level of cheese up. That's all for now.
I'm assuming you're Redford?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, my security word to post this comment was "undunce." That's cool.
Book Expo, baby. It's the Keystone Literary Festival of New York. I'm gonna try to make it there myself -- with an armload of my own galleys, if possible -- in any case we'll definitely have to work out some kind of secret Pennsylvania handshake.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout-out. You the man.
