A note from Shotsmag: Crime fans can win a pair of weekend passes to CrimeFest 2012 (May 24-27, Bristol, UK) by entering a new flash fiction contest titled Flashbang. It's free to enter, and bestselling author Zoë Sharp will pick eight winners and runners-up. But be succinct: they're looking for a crime story in just 150 words.
The Los Angeles Police Museum unveiled a new Black Dahlia exhibit, sponsored by author James Ellroy, who wrote a book on the case in 1987. The exhibit includes highlights from the extensive police files, never-before-seen photographs, news clippings, police memorabilia and other intriguing artifacts curated by Ellroy and volunteers.
YouTube features many book trailers and author interviews, but doesn't have a "literature" category, so it's hard to find them all. Reddit is trying to remedy that problem by building a new site for literary videos.
Speaking of interviews, this week's Q&A roundup includes Timothy Hallinan (the Poke Rafferty series), guest-blogging at Poe's Deadly Daughters.
