Putnam Panic
Any idea what this means?
普特恐慌起来。
Me, neither. But Google Translate says it means “Putnam panic.”
On Wednesday, I woke up to find a Chinese translation of my short story “Fortune” posted to Google+ by Janson Yao. “Fortune” was the first story of mine to be anthologized (in KWIK KRIMES) and the first to be translated into Spanish (“Fortuna”), so I was thrilled to have a Chinese translation as well.
If you know anyone who reads Chinese, point them here: “Fortune” in Chinese.

Handling Snakes in Crime Fiction
The practitioners of snake handling have always fascinated me. Not in a “I’d like to try that” kind of way, but in a “why would they do that” kind of way.
When a star of the reality television show “Snake Salvation” (which I’ve never seen) — a man described by NPR as “a 42-year-old Pentecostal preacher and third-generation snake handler from Middlesboro, Kentucky” — died this weekend from a snake bite, it caused me to wonder again.
If you’re at all interested in the strange world of snake handl...

2014 Winter Olympics: Now with In-Room Surveillance
I’m a big fan of the Winter Olympics and look forward to hopefully attending one someday. Seeing these tweets from journalists in Sochi, Russia, I’m glad that day is not today…

New Email Newsletter
I’ve started an email newsletter which I’ll use from time to time to send out updates about my crime fiction.
I promise to work hard to make it interesting, and I hate spam as much as you do, so I won’t send emails too often, only when there’s something cool to report — things like new stories, new podcasts and, hopefully, new books.
Your personal information will be protected — never shared, never sold, never spammed. Period.
You can sign up here. Thanks!
