Full Album of Titles Stolen from The Throes
By my count, the publication of “It Bothers Me” in the March/April 2015 issue of THUGLIT means that I now have 11 published short stories with stolen Throes song titles — enough for a full album.
To celebrate, here’s the complete playlist (the title links lead to blog posts about each story):
I couldn’t find two songs, “Alive” and “Fortune,” on YouTube. The list a...

“It Bothers Me” in Thuglit
The March/April 2015 issue of THUGLIT includes stories by Eric Beetner, Rob Hart, Ed Kurtz, Bracken MacLeod, Mark Rapacz, Devon Robbins, and Scott Loring Sanders.
That’s what insiders call a great lineup.
The same issue features my short story “It Bothers Me.”
Though entirely fictional, “It Bothers Me” is set in the very real town of Wilmot, South Dakota. (Wilmot, not far from the South Dakota-Minnesota border, is so small that — as of the date of this post — Google Street View doesn’t even cove...

Lippman & Swierczynski in Philly
Authors Laura Lippman (HUSH HUSH, WHAT THE DEAD KNOW, EVERY SECRET THING) and Duane Swierczynski (CANARY, EXPIRATION DATE, THE BLONDE) were in Philadelphia on Thursday night as part of the Free Library’s Author Events series.
Lippman and Swierczynski each read from their most recent novels, then answered questions from the audience.

Tom describes FORTUNE as “a fast-paced, efficiently told, wryly funny snapshot of a decidedly unglamorous criminal enterprise.” Which is exactly how I hoped it would turn out.
Here’s how you can get FORTUNE:
