Everyone,
I've been
asked to be this month's "guest writer." Since some of you
may not be familiar with my private eye novels and legal
thrillers, I'm copying the current version of my author's bio
below.
Regarding
Bcon, I've just returned. It was well attended despite
concerns about 9/11 and its aftermath. On Sunday morning,
S.J. Rozan and George Pelecanos presented a particular good
discussion of hard-boiled/noir sense and sensibilities.
Best from Boston,
Jerry
