It’s excellent, top-to-bottom. One of the wonderful booksellers at The Strand in NY suggested it as a follow-up to Buffalo Hunter Hunter (by Stephen Graham Jones) and I’ve been raving about “Never Whistle…” ever since!

I just saw that on your page! I’ve been really taking my time with ‘Never Whistle…’, so it’s exciting to hear that there’s another whole collection coming down the pipeline!

Killer spot! What’s the drink of choice? I have a local spot with a lot of plants and sunlight that does an excellent cortado—no better way to get writing than a shot of pure caffeine!

Seconded!

I’ve always enjoyed Poirots as great road trip companions; nothing to do but listen and keep track of the odd suspicious side-character. Which three did you end up saving for last?

That’s the one! I really dig the theme of this contest, so I think the winning stories will be right up my alley whether I’m included or not!

Interesting! Is this a semester reading list in the works?

Wow, that’s got to be striking…like it’s all dipped in blood. Seems like a Dracula special edition sort of bonus!

Hey, I was shortlisted in this one, too! Glad to have found a kindred spirit for this contest—best of luck to you and your Big Moose!

I have no doubts about that! This is the kind of cover I’d see in a rental store whose movie would end up scarring me for years. Great horror novel energy!

WOW, I love the cover on this one. Looks like an 80’s horror VHS!

I always thought the hate was overblown. They ended up right where they belonged! The trial may have been a little much and all, but I think the end result is overall satisfying for me—they’re still complaining about the same inane stuff as always, even behind bars.

Was it controversial? I guess I haven’t really dug into discussion feeds about it very deeply, but I’ve only heard overall satisfaction from those I know who finished it!

Cool concept! How did you find the publishing process? Was this self-pubbed?

Killer excerpt! I love the name “Treetop Hollow”, too. It immediately evokes the same resolute/solitary forest vibes that the excerpt highlights!

And what does Bessica think of the first draft? Was her attention ra(p)t?

Radical imagery! Such a romantic way to describe a war-torn landscape.

I love the idea of Kevin going into dentistry!

I always wished they’d gotten the gang back together to flip the script, with Kevin being a spy or international criminal and needing to break into a fortified museum so he calls on Harry and Marv for help. Does “Rome Alone” play? “Home Together”?
