Bloody Words organizer Peter Sellers tells me Greg Ward's
stuff is very dark and recommends Water Damage, the Carpet
King and his new one The Internet Bride. He says they wanted
an international look to the panel- mean streets around
the world rather than the expected American thing. Chambers
is British, Rippen is Dutch, Latour is Cuban but has had one
noirish novel published in the States. Greg Ward was born in
Britain but has lived in Canada for years and sets his work
here.
I think the panel, and your invitation to moderate it, marks
a turn toward noir for the conference, a trend organizaers
hope to encourage in Canadian mystery fiction.
