In exactly 3 weeks the Aud trilogy will be published in the UK for the first time. It only took 27 years. I know I’m not exactly an impartial observer but these books really do kick ass. I love them with a crazy love. And I would dearly like UK readers to go preorder a copy.

Do you know any other queer noir/not-noir novels1 praised by Dennis Lehane, Val McDermid, Dorothy Allison, Lee Child, Manda Scott, Francis Spufford, Laurie King, Ivy Pochoda, Robert Crais, Elizabeth Hand, James Sallis and more?

You can pre-order now, or put a hold on the books at your local library. Enjoy!
