Romanticizing Outlaws, Publishing Paperbacks
In celebration of today's paperback publication of The Many Deaths of the Firefly Brothers, I have a new essay on the home page of the amazing Mulholland Books. The essay tackles the question of whether writing about criminals romanticizes them, looking at some recent novels and classic movies as examples.
(Mulholland Books is the new imprint of Little, Brown, that will be reinventing genres and breathing new life into tales of suspense -- and they'll also be publishing my third novel, a dystopian future/post-9/11 spy story, called The Revisionists, in September.)
HELPFUL INTERNET SHOPPING NOTE: not that I promote one bookseller over another, but if you're trying to buy the paperback on Amazon and having trouble finding it, but instead keep seeing a used copy of the British paperback edition, that's due to a weird glitch that the Amazonians swear to me will be fixed in 2-4 business days. In the meantime, to see the Amazon page where you can actually buy the real, new, U.S. paperback, which features words like "labor" instead of "labour" and which uses " and " as quotation marks instead of ' and ', and which has a cooler cover, click here.
Or visit your favorite neighborhood bookstore, which, at last check, does still exist.
