Well, that’s been awesome…Outside the Law made the Amazon Best Seller this week, reaching #40 in the United States, and #15 in Canada, as well as #1 in the Mystery/Hardboiled category. That’s a first for me — one that could not have been accomplished without the great crew at Brash Books.

So, what’s next?

First, my third Noir at the Bar happens Friday, 19 May, in Richmond, Va., at McCormack’s Irish Pub. If you’re in the area, and in the mood to hear some scruffy, sometimes manic crime writers read from their works, come on out. My first N@TB happened  couple of years ago in Durham, N.C.; I read at another in Baltimore not long after. I love the N@TB atmosphere…just a bunch of writers in the corner of a bar holding forth on some of the best crime fiction you’ll ever hear.

Next, I’m back to writing … the next Colt Harper story is now well underway. Not giving much away yet, but the working title (which will inevitably change) is “A Gun in My Hand.”
