A friend of mine sent me this screen shot of an email he got today from Amazon recommending FORT WORTH NIGHTS and TEXAS WIND to him. It's always nice to see Amazon publicizing the books. Such things are more important than ever these days. When I review a book here I always try to post the review on Amazon as well and "Like" the page. If I review something of yours and fail to post it on Amazon, too, don't hesitate to drop me an e-mail and remind me, because that's always my intention. The little things really add up in this business.
I also find it funny when I get a recommendation e-mail from Amazon and one or more of the books they're recommending to me are ones that I've written under other names. That happens more often than you might think.
I'm happy to announce that if you got a Nook for Christmas, you can now get HANGROPE LAW and TEXAS WIND to read on it. And there'll be more stuff coming soon, both for the Nook and the Kindle, including more original material. I'm pretty excited about it, to tell you the truth.
Not a forgotten book this week, but one that was almost impossible to get hold of for a good many years. It's my first novel, the first private eye novel set in Fort Worth, Texas (that I know of), and now you can get it not only in hardback and trade paperback but also as an ebook for the Kindle, and at a very reasonable price, too, I might add. Livia and I are working on getting the rest of our backlist available for the Kindle, so I should have some more announcements along those lines soon.
Here's the cover for the brand-new Italian edition of TEXAS WIND, published by Meridian Zero. If you read Italian (I don't), there's a blog post about the book's release here. I'm very pleased and proud that this edition is coming out, and I love the cover. Here's a big thanks to Marco Vicentini, Matteo Strukul, and all the other good folks at Meridian Zero!
Nathan Cain over at the excellent Independent Crime website has posted a review of TEXAS WIND. I have to say, it's very nice to be getting reviews on this book almost thirty years after it was written.
