Richard,
If you would like to be added to the list of contributors for
Crime Zine Report http://crimezine.blogspot.com/
so that you can spread the word there (and indirectly through
Crimespace where Crime Zine Report has a feed, and Crimespot)
please feel free to email me. You only need to have a Blogger
2 account.
I would also be happy to run this for you in the next
Spinetingler if you think that would be helpful.
Cheers,
Sandra Ruttan
