A slew of new websites and blogs

Since I don't include a blog roll on the Crime Fiction Dossier, I thought I'd share some new/updated websites and blogs with you. These are some of the sites I've visited lately.

Robert Ward -- The official website of author/screenwriter Bob Ward. Bob's got a new book (Four Kinds of Rain) coming in October from St. Martin's Press, so I redesigned his site for him. (I'm not in the web business, but Bob's a friend, so I volunteered to do it for him.)

Buzz, Balls & Hype -- M.J. Rose's publishing blog always has great information and is a must-read for me. (M.J. now has a partner helping her out with the terrific Backstory blog.)

Thriller -- Spiffy new site for ITW's Thriller anthology. I think this is going to be the book of the season.

Mystery Circus -- A new central website for crime fiction info, including columns written by mystery world notables.

Murderati -- Multi-author blog with Elaine Flinn, Pari Noskin Taichert, Naomi Hirahara, JT Ellison, Denise Dietz, Simon Wood and Jeffrey Cohen.

Naked Authors -- Another multi-author blog, this one with Paul Levine, Patricia Smiley, James Grippando, Jacqueline Winspear and Cornelia Read.

James O. Born -- Jim Born is doing a pseudo-blog on the main page of his website.

Chris Mooney -- Chris is also doing a pseudo-blog on his website.

The Rap Sheet -- January Magazine's old Crime Fiction section (a Gumshoe Award winner) is now a blog. It's new, but looks promising.
