Blogs and Stories

As I was checking through the CrimeSpot blog links today, I discovered that Anne Frasier has started blogging again. Anne is the author of "Pale Immortal" a terrific book that I read this past summer. She also does some great blog posts, the two that are up are wonderful slices of her life. Her new blog is called Monkey with a Pen http://monkeywithapen.blogspot.com/ Drop on by and pay her a visit. She always has the welcome mat out.

The newest Conversations with the Bookless is up featuring Gabe Durham, a new writer to me, you can read his interview here http://www.bookspotcentral.com/2009/05/conversations-with-the-bookless-gabe-durham If you'd like to acquaint yourself with his writing first, he has a story up at Thieves Jargon http://www.thievesjargon.com/workview.php?work=1195

Patti Abbott's calling for writers to join in the latest flash challenge. Drop by her blog and check it out. They're always a fun way to spend a blog day. http://pattinase.blogspot.com/

And one of the nice things about being a part of the Internet is you get to "meet" new writers. I met Jeff Brown through SMFS. He's a new writer and was looking for markets. so of course, I directed him here. He dropped me an email to say that he just had his first story published. And it's a great little flash piece! So, here's a big Snoopy Dance for first time published, Jeff. You can read his story "The Rock Star" at Powder Burn Flash http://www.powderburnflash.com/?q=node/311

While we're passing out the Snoopy Dances, friend of The Corner, Cormac Brown, has a new story up at A Twist of Noir along with Kieran Shea. Url to the left. Lots of great reading, folks!

Happy Mother's Day to you, too, Patti!!

And thanks, everyone. I wonder sometimes if I'm actually putting anything useful out there.
