Okay, so my retirement from blogging only lasted two weeks. Turns out I’m such an opinionated bigmouth that I couldn’t resist sharing my wisdom with everyone. Who knew?
Actually, there are some things I want to say, and some books I want to share, and there’s no better forum to do it than this one. (I also appreciated the fact that so many people wrote in to say they missed my writing. Be careful what you wish for!)
I had a very generous offer from M.J. Rose to blog part-time on her site, but it just didn’t feel right. If I’m going to spout off, I should do it in my own house and not mess up the carpet at somebody else’s place.
Don’t expect me to post as frequently as I once did. I’m planning to write when I have something to say, and stay silent when I don’t. The focus will remain largely the same (books, authors, reviewing and publishing), but I hope to concentrate on more substantive topics within those categories. There’s already enough fluff out there, right?
This new iteration of the Crime Fiction Dossier will not have the comment feature enabled. I find that the “discussions” that erupt on most blogs are counter-productive and too often negative, so I’ve decided to eliminate them. If you have something to say, you can always email me.
We’ll see how it goes this time around. Thanks for joining me!
