Needle Magazine and Other News



Look at this baby. It's the work of publicity professional, author extraordinaire and Needle's creative director John Hornor Jacobs. Under the list of featured writers, third from the bottom, who's name do you see? That's right, mine! I submitted my story ORDO AD CHAO to Needle last summer and after going through editing I am proud to finally feature in one of the most badass and reputable crime fiction magazines AND in print, on top of that. Those guys are legit. I'm not sure when this hits the shelves, but expect to find a link for purchase on this site.

 Oh yeah and...



....check THIS out! Finally, after two or three years of searching the world for this novel, I got my hands on it. To illustrate how difficult it is to find DOG SOLDIERS, this is a LIBRARY BOOK, with a plastic reinforcement on the cover and code tags on the spine. How insane is that? I first thought this was a stolen book, exchanged by a crackhead for crack money, but apparently it's that libraries in the U.S have a policy to sell books that have spent more than a year unchecked. That explains how some books get lost in the world. 

Anyway, big big BIG thank you to writer and Dead End Follies reader Linda Rodriguez, who helped me get my hands on it and also big thanks to her friend for pointing me out to Alibris to find a copy. I also picked up a copy of THE CONTORTIONIST'S HANDBOOK for my reading challenge. Friend of Linda, I'm sorry I don't remember your name, but you're cool. Thank you!
