Sand's Game - Ennis Willie

You’ve seen this book on Ed Gorman’s blog and Bill Crider’s blog in the past couple of days, and quite possibly elsewhere. But here’s my two cents worth: SAND’S GAME is a great book and a book that’s a long time overdue. The novels and the stories are about as tough and fast-paced as any you’ll ever read, and all the additional material is, as others have said, worth the price by itself. Don’t pass this one up, and here’s hoping that it’ll be just the first of many Ennis Willie collections to come.

Ramble House Blog

Fender Tucker, the man behind the fine small press publisher Ramble House, has started blogging. You can check it out here. In the spirit of full disclosure, Fender and I are working on a collection of some of my mystery stories from MIKE SHAYNE MYSTERY MAGAZINE and a few other places. I don't know yet when it will be out, but you can bet I'll announce it here when I do know.
