Free Noir!

Who doesn't love Free Noir? It's almost as good as free love.  Right now Noiristo Nigel Bird is offering his third collection of short stories, With Love and Squalor free.  As a special pre-publication promo for Pulp Ink 2, he's also offering the original collection, Pulp Ink free.

Pulp In 2 is coming!

The writer half of NoHo has been off the radar for nearly a month but not because she's a lazy cow. Au contraire. I've been writing a lot, just not writing the latest episode. Forgive me for that. What I have been writing, among other things, is my story for Chris Rhatigan and Nigel Bird's anthology Pulp Ink 2. My story, "Thicker Than Water" involves crime syndicates, murder and blood on the water.  The lineup of writers is fantastic--Patti Abbott, Matthew C. Funk, Keiran Shea, Julia Madeleine, BV Lawson, James Everington, R Thomas Brown, WD County, Eric Beetner (who also did the cover), Richard Godwin, Christopher Black, Mike Miner, Kevin Brown, Cindy Rosmus, Heath Lowrance, Joe Clifford, Andrez Bergen.  Fast company...I admire every one of these writers. The anthology is being publisher by Snubnose Press and should be available shortly. Proceeds will go to charity.

Death By Killing

Chris Rhatigan, whose excellent site Death by Killing is an essential starting point for anyone interested in good crime fiction, is posting "Five You Can't Miss" recommendations for short stories you might have missed over the course of the year. He kicked off the series with Christopher Grant of A Twist of Noir picks yesterday; today it's NoHo's own Katherine Tomlinson offering up suggestions. Check them out here.

And if you're looking for the perfect package of short crime fiction to give as a Christmas gift, pick up a copy (or two) of the excellent anthology Pulp Ink, which Chris co-edited with writer Nigel Bird. It's got more goodies than a plum pudding has plums. (Are there actually plums in plum pudding?) Anyway, inside you'll find stories by Matthew C. Funk, Richard Godwin, Hilary Davidson, Allan Guthrie, Patti Abbott, Sandra Seamans, Paul D. Brazill and Nigel and Chris as well.
