In Case You Haven't Heard

Broken Down on the Bonneville Flats is now archived at BEAT TO A PULP. It's a good read and for those of you playing eBlog roulette, follow the link and read my story.

DISCOUNT NOIR is now up and available at a variety of sites. Go give that one a read as well. I'm in it with some of the big names in crime fiction and it feels good. I've been writing all my life but now that I'm in the crime fiction arena, the results are paying off as is the truckload of networking I've been doing. (I just wished I burned off fat for all of this cyber-hoofing.)

Man, I am in it with some of the big guns in crime fiction. How cool for me!

After Glow

A rousing success!
The turn out for Hard Boiled Guy/B-Girl Day was mch larger this year, reaching near twenty of us. We gathered at the Shamrock Pub in Utica over the weekend where we discussed old movies, current sports, and favorite noir folk all while bumping gums before we breezed off.

Hard Boiled Guy/B-Girl Day

The second annual Hard Boiled Guy/ B-Girl Day is coming up! Celebrate the golden days of pulp fiction and film noir with me on October 18- the anniversary of the release date for the cinematic masterpiece The Maltese Falcon.

The Great Debate: Bad Art or Art That Is Not So Good?

YOUNG LUCY


The debate rages on the Museum of Bad Art's facebook page. My mother's contribution fans a flame war!
Scroll down to the thumb-nail of the renamed painting (alas, Young Innocent with Giant Duck Footprint was changed to Young Lucy as the painting is now a companion piece to one of an elderly woman frollicking in a field) and click on it. The comments are a tormented closet-artist's dream!

YIWNLAAGDF

This is the painting.
You be the judge.
I think its new home at the Museum of Bad Art is appropriate.

The Price of Infamy

I shipped 'Young Innocent with No Left Arm and Giant Duck Footprint' to the Museom of Bad Art on Wednesday. The price of infamy? $63.10 according to UPS.
