Terminal Ferocity

The Nerd of Noir has posted the first review for my new book, Fierce Bitches (it's due February 13 from Crime Factory Books.)  Here's some tasty nerdage:

"if Fierce Bitches is any indication of what’s to come, the guy’s gonna be a fucking titan of crime fiction in no time."

Pre-shate it, Nerd. I've been saying the same thing for ages now. Finally got somebody to agree with me... waiting... still waiting...

Should titan-hood never be bestowed upon me, I'd like to take a guess at who got there first and slammed the door on me.

Jordan Harper's collected short stories American Death Songs will be available in January. Here's a blurb for that one:

"A harrowing, hallowing ode to those whose options boil down to a bullet, a bank or a strange stretch of highway. American Letters has found, in Harper, an agent worthy to take the crime fiction tradition into the 21st century." - Hardboiled Wonderland

This is one baaadass book.

Also: Jake Hinkson's novella The Posthumous Man is just released from David Cranmer's Beat to a Pulp Books. Hinkson's novel Hell on Church Street is one of my favorites of 2012. In fact, I made a list of my favorite debut novels of the year up at Ransom Notes this week. Good company - good news for the future of crime fiction.
