Laurance Kitts did an excellent job of interviewing me over at Slit Your Wrists Magazine. Yeah, they’re not for the faint of heart, but they do good work. They published one of my stories, “Vision Quest” in their sister publication, Surreal Grotesque, and did a beautiful job of layout and design. We talked about my next book, Disintegration, as well as upcoming short story collections with Krak...

Yes, I'm one of the MANY authors in here, but there are so many talented voices in here, big and small, that I think overall this is an excellent collection. Well worth picking up, for the variety, and to find a new voice or two.

Ivan Stoikov - Allan Bard Hi! Thanks for recommendation for Noir at the Bar! Though it seems not exactly my kind of book, it sounds interesting and supports a good cause! Best wishes! LET THE WONDERFUL NOISE OF THE SEA ALWAYS SOUNDS IN YOUR EARS! (a greeting of the water dragons' hunters - my Tale Of The Rock Pieces).

Colin Miller Richard wrote: "I figure, life is short, why waste time on books you don't love?"

I have the same view, mate, but I must've overestimated your ability to be disappointed. (Removes a gold star from your snobbery card.)


Richard Thomas I'm starting with the ones I love. If I have time, I'll add in the ones I don't. I figure, life is short, why waste time on books you don't love?


message 4: by Colin

Colin Miller Look at all this five-star love! Where are the books you don't like?


Richard Thomas ha...thanks valerie, and my book isn't even out yet...had a couple things that were up here already - sideshow fables and the vampire anthology - very cool


Richard Thomas Ha. Thanks. I've been putting this off, but thought it was about time.


Gordon Welcome to Goodreads, where the true playas hang! Er, no. Mostly we just geek out over books.
