I have been off list for some months due to moving from the
San Francisco Bay Area to Ashland, Oregon. Now that I am
almost unpacked and moved in I am back into my writing full
bore and have re-joined the Rara Avis list.
Two items to report:
1) The latest issue of Thuglit (www.thuglit.com) is out and
features my story "Rara-Avis." Crip & Henrietta, "a
pierced-punk babe with an attitude and a paraplegic private
eye" as Neil Smith describes them, search for a stolen issue
of Black Mask. This leads them into their own Hammettesque
(okay so the word doesn't exist, but it should) adventure.
Big Daddy Thug Todd Robinson kindly wrote that "'Rara Avis'
is one of the absolute finest pieces we've had the privilege
of putting into Thuglit thus far." So check it out. Couldn't
think of a more appropriate story for this list.
2) I'll be moderating a panel NOIR IT'S THE NEW BLACK at LCC
in Seattle. Saturday, Feb. 3 at 10. AM. I urge those of you
going to LCC to come and bring provocative questions. We will
be exploring the renewed interest in writing books set in
what we can call the classic Noir time period and style. Also
under discussion will be what is sometimes referred to as
"Post-Tarantino Noir." E.g.: Plots With Guns, the Akashic
series, and now Demolition and Thuglit.
I'm happy to be back and look forward to hearing about what
you all have been up to and been discussing in my
absence.
