I will be signing books and hobnobbing with
the literati again this year at Los Angeles
Times Festival of Books. The annual event,
which is expected to draw over 130,000
visitors, will be held on the UCLA campus on
April 28 & 29th, 2007. Mark your calender.
Over 360 of your favorite authors will be in
attendance. It will be an event to remember.
Come on over and say hello. Even if you don't
buy a book, I'll be nice to you.

Megan Willingham, host of Authors 'n
More. I'll be with Megan for 30 minutes.
She's as smart as she is beautiful. Can I
say that, or is it sexist?
Charlie Sherman (above) had me on his
January 14th morning radio program,
discussing Six to Five Against. The
show was broadcast on five stations on
the east coast. His ratings zoomed.
On January 21, 2006, I was a member of the
mystery panel at Cerritos Library in CA. Along
with eleven other outstanding mystery authors, I
was invited to have lunch and answer questions
from the sellout crowd in attendance . Click above

The Long Beach Press-Telegram did
a nice piece about my life and work.
They included pictures of me and
my books. The article was in advance
of the upcoming Cerritos Library
Mystery on the Menu luncheon.
It's hard to see, but the photo of the
other guy on the page is Ray
Bradbury. He's an okay writer, wrote
a few good books, so I don't mind his
picture being almost as big as mine.

My brother, Ronnie, ran in last years L.A.
Marathon. He's in the picture. Look for the
guy wearing a T-shirt and running shoes.
He'll be in this years as well.

H2O Magazine to Feature My Short Fiction
Martin Sugarman, publisher of H2O, the
magazine of waterfront culture, literature and
the arts asked me to write a series of short
stories for his fine publication. I agreed. He
demanded something "Noirish" set in Seal
Beach, CA, back in the gritty days when the
town was a gambling resort. "Throw PC out

Karen L. Syed, CEO of Echelon Press has set a
release date of February, 2008 for my new Jimmy
O'Brien novel, The Brimstone Murders. I'm very
excited to be associated with such a quality
organization. Echelon has many award winning
authors under contract, and it's humbling to be
included in such an august group of writers. Watch
this space for more information. I'll be touring
extensively after the release.
In a world filled with disasters and catastrophes, there
always remains hope. In The Heat of the Moment,
twenty-one authors came together with a showcase of
short fiction. Committed to aiding those who lost so much
in the blink of an eye, we proudly offer this tribute to the
true heroes of the San Diego wildfires, the survivors. We
invite you to wear your own red ribbon in honor of their
extraordinary "Courage and Inspiration."
Proceeds from the sale of this book will offer aid to
those heroes through the support of the "Fire Safe
Council of San Diego County."
