I have a similar memory of buying a copy of Iguana Love after
a Tart Noir panel at the 2001 Bouchercon in Washington, and
rushing to have it signed.
Vicki gave me a doubtful look and asked if I'd read the book,
did I know what it was about. I hadn't read it of course, but
told her I'd been inspired by her appearance on the
panel.
"All right," she said, scrawling "Beware of iguana women"
with a look that suggested she might herself be uneasy
meeting face-to-face the type of man who would enjoy this
particular kind of book, which I subsequently did.
Or maybe I just smelled bad. Much of that weekend is now a
blur. But the book lived up to my hopes for a dark story
revolving around the politics of sexual expression and
fantasy. I haven't read another of her books since, but this
discussion has reminded me to stop waiting for the return of
Robin Hudson and order more Hendricks from my favourite
bookseller.
Wonder what sort of look he'll give me.
Best, Kerry
