Checking in

I know the posts have been few and far between lately. I'm doing the final round of revisions on my novel to get it ready to send out, so that's been keeping me busy. I think it's going well.

I have a handful of reviews in the can that should be running soon. Check the Philadelphia Inquirer and Chicago Sun-Times this weekend. I should also have things in the Boston Globe and South Florida Sun-Sentinel soon.

BEA (BookExpo America) is coming up at the end of this week, so that's where I'll be on Friday and Saturday. I'm on the big thriller panel (Friday @ 2:30pm) with James Patterson, David Morrell, Dan Conaway, Margaret O'Neil Marbury and Simon Lipskar. Should be fun -- I always enjoy talking about books. (Please holler at me if you're going to be there.)

Lots of good books are coming out this time of year, including new ones from Lee Child (now), Joseph Finder (also now), Barry Eisler (June) and M.J. Rose (June & July). I also enjoyed Jim Swain's pair of new poker mysteries, and Frederick Forsyth's latest thriller. There are many others, too, that I can't remember off the top of my head.

So everyone get to reading! I'll do the same.
