MAYhem!

Bookhampton is sponsoring a mystery festival in the Hamptons the weekend of May 15th, with forty or so writers wandering around their various shops.  I'll be at their Sag Harbor store on Saturday at 3 pm, alongside Lee Child, Andrew Gross, and Jonathan Santolofer. Full schedule is here. Should be a lot of fun.

Interviews

With the Edgars fast approaching, I've done a few interviews in the past week or so (perhaps the best thing about having a book nominated for an award is the way it gives the book a second wind...). You can read my interview with blogger Lesa Holstine here.  The Writer Magazine has Q&A's with all of the best first novel Edgar nominees (although you have to complete their free registration to view them).

Cure was also recently reviewed in the Florida Bar Journal.

Audiobook Review

To my knowledge, this is the only review of the audiobook version of Cure.  Its a nice review, focusing both on the substance of the book and on the audio aspect (the book is read by James Colby).

I confess that I've never actually listened to an audio book. Not that I have anything against them.  I assume (perhaps incorrectly) that most people who listen to audio books do so in their cars, and all of my work commuting has been via subway. 

I tried to listen to my own audiobook, but was quickly weirded out and stopped after five minutes.  There wasn't anything wrong with the reading (the one person I know whose listened to it tells me that Colby does a great job), just that I found the experience of listening to my own book completely unnerving.
