Bob Skinner: Welcome to the bunch. I hope you find us worth
your while.
Bill Crider was telling us at Bouchercon about your new book
being dropped
by Kensington, after it was typeset. Bummer! I wish you the
best in
finding a new publisher because your writing deserves
it.
Smokers: A long time ago, when I was so much younger, I
fought in several
smokers. They were usually amateur bouts sponsored by a club
(school, Boy's
Cluyb, YMCA, or some such) and sometimes by a church. At
least some
Catholic parishes would occasionally sponsor a smoker. Today
the AAU
probably governs all such stuff. I doubt seriously that I
could hold my
arms up for three minutes these days with 12 oz. gloves. Has
amateur boxing
reduced the time per round to two minutes? More importantly,
is this what
Chandler was talking about?
I still mean to put my poor notes on the Noir panel at
Bouchercon together.
Wait for it.
Cheers,
Frank D.
