Birthfest is over. And now it's time to get back to work. Here are a few links while I get my consitution together.
Congratulations to Rigoberto Gonzalez who is in Oakland this weekend to accept a American Book Award for his memoir, Butterfly Boy!
This is a little complicated, so pay attention. Edgar Award winner Charles Ardai has a new book out but it won't even be considered for the Edgar. Why? Because Ardai is now publishing with Hard Case Crimes, which he owns. This means his new book is technically self-published and very few award committes will even consider a self-published book. Got that?
