I'm taking over blogging duty for Robin Spano on 7 Criminal Minds, a wonderful blog run by a great group of writers. My first post is up already, on motivation.

Tomorrow night is Noir at the Bar Vancouver, the event I look forward to the most. It's at the Shebeen Whisky Room in Gastown, and starts at seven. Then the day after is a library event with Dietrich Kalteis and ER Brown

My other semi-regular blog, Off The Cuff, has a new post up about our road trip to Bouchercon with John McFetridge, John Jantunen, and ECW Press publisher Jack David. It was a hell of a trip. 

Other than that...I've been working on edits for Invisible Dead, I have a cool short story announcement to make pretty soon, and I'm finally caught up on my midterm marking. Books I've read recently which I'd recommend:

Patricia Highsmith, Talented Mr. Ripley
Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo, Roseanna
Les Edgerton, The Bitch
Josephine Tey, The Franchise Affair
John McFetridge, Dirty Sweet
and I'm still working through the Ross MacDonald Lew Archer series.
