Ah, hello there! I’ve been out of touch with y’all for ages, and one happy result is that I have a lot to tell you. And, in the hope that you’ll read all the way to the end, I’m saving the best for last. Isn’t that another way to say you’re burying the lede? Oh, why...

Oh, there you are, LB. Still got a pulse, eh? Still capable of sitting up and taking nourishment? Sarcasm is so easy, isn’t it? And perhaps justified, as I have in fact been silent for a month or two… Or three. …but I’ve been busy. With things you won’t talk about....

David Trevor here. We haven’t sent out a newsletter, or done much of anything, in ages. LB is working on something, or says he is. He won’t say what, but that’s typical. Also says he’s got no time for newsletters or social media or blogging or anything...

Who, Linda Shepard? She’s actually a real person? If only. No, the book’s heroine, Linda Shepard, has always been the product of a 21-year-old’s overactive imagination. The book she starred in, Campus Tramp, was my first novel for Nightstand Books and marked the debut...

So tell us, LB—what color is the moon? What kind of question is that? Rhetorical, because I already know the answer. It has to be blue, because there’s a newsletter from you in my inbox, and how often does that happen? It’s been a while, hasn’t it? I could dodge your...

This will be brief—for two reasons. First, I’ve only got one piece of information to impart. I think it’s a significant one, but it shouldn’t take all that many words to convey it. Secondly, I’ve got a train to catch; my Frequent Companion and I are actually taking an...

Over the years, I’ve made much of my work available through Kindle Unlimited. Very simply, this is how it works: Members who subscribe to Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited program have genuinely unlimited access to a vast body of material; while as a member you...

Really? Our Jill? Well, not Jill herself, who’s the same radiant polyamorous creature she was when she first began writing novels on my typewriter some 55 years ago. There have been nine books over the years, published variously by Fawcett, Midwood, Berkley, Putnam,...

“Sometimes a reviewer just can’t wait to write about a book. Even though Lawrence Block’s memoir, “A Writer Prepares,” isn’t available till June, I was recently sent an advance proof. Quite innocently, I started reading it — and couldn’t tear myself...

Yeah, right. You know who was the first person to say that? Edward III. Really? What was the occasion? He was addressing the troops right before the start of the Hundred Years War. Oh. Well, this definitely won’t take that long. I have only a few things to tell you,...
