Lager, Eyepatches and Rockabilly
Erik Carlson (whose wife Hannah won the Starling lookalike contest last month) makes a podcast called Bibliodiscoteque where he creates soundtracks for the books of his favorite writers. Past installments have featured Steve Niles, Harlan Ellison and Christa Faust, and I'm flattered to report that Erik's gone and compiled a crazy punk, blues and rockabilly soundtrack for my novels Fun & Games and Hell & Gone. Erik emailed me in late October to ask if I had any suggestions, but I'm glad I didn't follow through with any, because I'm freakin' loving what Erik selected. Download the podcast and check it out for yourself, but right now I'm in my basement office writing to Rocket to Memphis' "I'm Bad," Sparkle Moore's "Skull & Crossbones," The Woolly Bandits' "Woman of Mass Destruction," and The Soft Boys' "I Want to Destroy You," just to name a few. Huge thanks, Erik. You've got a little thank-you present on its way to you...

Thank you for the kind words and extremely generous write-up. I have to say, Agent Mann was amazingly easy to find songs for as she is such a fantastic character.
Perhaps someday we'll get a book of her being an absolute and perfect villan. He's to one-eyed women and green bottle beers!
Just finished Hell and Gone...Wow!
Can't wait for Point and Shoot....c'mon March!
Thanks,
Troy
