I’m pleased to announce that today is publication day for the U.S. trade paperback of HARD TWISTED, the Depression-era true-crime novel that the London Sunday Times called a “taut and intriguing thriller,” and that the L.A. Times called “a gritty, gripping read, and one that begs to be put on film.”  Which explains why I spent most of yesterday doing radio interviews, first with Utah Public Radio host Tom Williams, then with Authors on the Air host Stephen Campbell, and I hope you’ll take a moment and check them out.  Tomorrow (Wednesday) I’m off to Collected Works Bookstore in Santa Fe, NM for a 6:00 p.m. event with author David Edgerly Gates, whose work appears in the newly-released BEST AMERICAN MYSTERY STORIES OF 2013.  I’ll be signing HARD TWISTED, and David will be signing BAMS 2013, and if you’re in the neighborhood, we hope you’ll stop by and say hello.  Also, for those in the southwestern Colorado area, I’ll be interviewed by host Tom Yoder on NPR affilliate KSJD-FM on Friday, November 1 at 8:30 a.m.  Hope you’ll listen in!
