Monday Linkage

For fans of Craig McDonald there's an interesting interview up at Mysterious Writers where he talks about his series characters. http://mysteriouspeople.blogspot.com/2010/08/visit-with-craig-mcdonald.html

Michael Bracken will be live on the web Wednesday, August 11, presenting "This Little Piggy Went to Market: How I've Sold More Than 800 Short Stories". He will be featured on Face Book by Janice Curran http://www.facebook.com/janice.curran You can find the time and other details at Michael's blog http://crimefictionwriter.blogspot.com/2010/08/this-little-piggy-went-to-market.html

I was at The Big Adios this morning and stumbled across a zine called "Slow Trains" http://www.slowtrains.com/index.shtml This is a non-paying market, but there's good stories and baseball. You can check out the guidelines at http://www.slowtrains.com/slowtrainssub.html I checked this market out because Mike Dennis said he had a story called "Whiskey Meets Rock and Roll" in the current issue, how could I resist. When we were talking about a story starting slow the other day, this one fits the bill. I love how Mike puts you right in the bar with all the tastes and smells and the story just unfolds. You can read it for yourself here http://www.slowtrains.com/vol9issue4/dennisvol9issue4.html
