Re: RARA-AVIS: Introduction



Hi

This is a quick introduction to myself (that sounds odd somehow!). My name is
Peter Dillon-Parkin and with my wife Crow I'm a co-editor of Crime Time, an
English magazine about Crime Fiction. We're sold through newsstand and
bookshops in the UK and have a print run of 15,000. What a shame we don't
sales that big. 

We've run interviews with Ellroy, Block, Cornwell and many others as well as
a fair number of articles on Pulp Fiction and hard-boild crime fiction. I'm
interested in all crime fiction, but have a long time love of hard-boiled. In
the day I work as a technical consultant for a software firm. I got into
hard-boiled when I bought a Dashiell Hammett omnibus at a Church sale for a
penny at the age of ten. I've been addicted ever since.

By the way, folks, the excellent Eddie Duggan did a fine job of reviewing the
Hammett and Hellman biog for the last CT. Is it OK if I post it, Eddie, or
would you like to? (I'd rather you all bought Crime Time mind...).

Cheers

Peter
