For those of you who might be interested in listening to the radio interview I did concerning my novel D-E-D, DEAD, I have it posted on Youtube. The link is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKGd4B...

It was very low-key and a whole lot of fun. It presents some of my thinking processes, anecdotes about some of the book's characters, and even a little silliness.

If you check it out, PLEASE tell me what you think, so I can do better next time!

I did a radio interview a few weeks ago with a local radio station. They botched the first airing, and I just realized that the re-airing is in less than an hour, at 5 pm MDT. If anyone is interested, it will be streaming at http://krza.org I hope to get an MP3 of the show, and I'll try to post a link to it later.

I'm heading to Denver in a little while for a finalists reading event for the 2013 Colorado Book Awards. It will be held at the Denver press Club, hosted by the Colorado Humanities Center for the Book. My novel D-E-D, DEAD is one of three finalists in the crime/mystery category. This should be quite an experience!

D*E*D Dead

I got this in the mail the other day....I had actually forgotten about sending in the entry.

Larry,

I am not sure if you've received official notification, so let me say -- D-E-D, Dead has been selected as a Finallist in the 2013 Colorado Book Awards in the Genre/Crime Fiction category. Congratulations!

Also, we are in the process of planning a Finalist Reading Event to be held on Thursday, April 25th at the Denver Press Club from 6 to 9 p.m. The cost is $7 at the door. The program, hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar are included. Parking is available for $4 in the adjacent lot after 6 pm. The program will begin at 6:30 with a booksale following. Broadway Book Mall (Ron and Nina Else) will run the booksale, and I will need to know if you want to participate by April 8th. You will need to read for about 3 minutes. Last year we had about 100 plus in attendance for this event, and it's great fun! Let me know.

The actual Colorado Book Awards event will be held on June 21 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. in Aspen as the culminating event of Aspen Summer Words Literary Festival.

Again, congratulations! I look forward to hearing from you.
