Wanna know something strange? I came across Heath Lowrance while researching something thoroughly intimate. At the dawn of my obsession about identifying the nature of my own writing, I was surfing the net and reading different definitions of the term Noir, to see if it fitted what I did. The sub-genre Psycho Noir got my attention and one Google search later, I was on Heath' blog. We quickly became buddies, but the nature of our friendship transcended electronic border when I had the pleasure to read his first novel The Bastard Hand, last month (thanks to his editor Jon Bassoff for that). It's now due for release next Sunday, on March 20th. If you're looking to challenge yourself and step out of your comfort zone, you should pick it up from your nearest retailer. While it doesn't exactly bother with heroics, it's a novel that carries important ideas and has the strength of those books right wing nut jobs try to ban all the time.
