I've also just learned that Deadly Pleasures magazine has listed Rode Hard, Put Away Dead as one of the Best Books of 2001. The magazine also listed the cover of the book in its Favorite Cover Art section. I've recently come into a few copies of the first edition of America's Best . While plans are in the works to have the World War II novel reprinted in paperback form, there were only 3000 of the original hardcover done. And of course I'll autograph them.
Reviews are available in the review section of the website.
I finished up reading short stories for the Shamus Award and was amazed that the three judges were able to come to such a quick consensus. This month also brought good news. I was among great company with Janet Evanovich's One for the Money also involved in the three-way tie. And I just heard that The Sporting Club ,like The Last Song Dogs , has now gone into a second printing. Now it's on to polishing the 4th Trade Ellis, Fast Eddy so it will get in to Bantam by June 1st.
