It's Bloody Book Week in Johannesburg, South Africa. The country (and continent's) first crime fiction festival is back this year with authors Mandy Wiener, Mark Gimenez, John Connolly and Jeffery Deaver, as well as experts in crime, investigation and forensics. One of the highlights of the week is "The Bloody Book Week Masterclass: how to write your own crime fiction and make a fortune", hosted by Mike Nicol with significant input from both Jeffery Deaver and John Connolly.
The Spring/Summer edition of Mysterical-E is out, including 20 new stories; columns by Gerald So (a look at new crime TV shows of summer and fall), Jim Doherty (his 10 favorite private-eye movies), Chris Verstraete, Byron McAllister, and Jan Christenson; plus interviews and reviews galore.
This week's short story offering on Powder Burn Flash is "The House Always Wins" by Tom Darin Liskey, while Darkest Before the Dawn features Gary Clifton's "The Law of Expectation."
In the Q&A roundup this week, Laura LIppman interviews fellow author Megan Abbott about her latest novel, Dare Me; and here's a link to a video interview from earlier this year with author Lee Child interviewing Marcus Sakey about Sakey's latest book The Two Deaths of Daniel Hayes.
