Here and there online...

Sasha Jackson and I have been wandering the Cyber World, and here's a few places we've shown up:

JUNGLE RED WRITERS blog.  I did a guest post for these deadly and delightful scribes.  The article is called "The Case of the Missing Character".  Have a look at what's missing from the mystery genre...

MYSTERIES AND MORE Blogger Bill Selnes is alphabetically working his way through a list of mystery authors.  "E is for Edmondson" and I'm so glad it is!  Check out what Bill has to say...

BOOKGASM, yes, Book-gasm, is a wonderful site featuring book reviews of "reading material to get excited about."  They sure got excited about THE LIES HAVE IT, book three in the Sasha Jackson Mysteries series.  See what they think...

Last but not least, CONFESSIONS OF A MYSTERY NOVELIST has an article on the "world's oldest profession" and mystery novels.  Not surprisingly, blogger and author Margot Kinberg gives Dead Light District  a mention...

Interview Round Up - So Very Different

 I am lucky to have done a few - four actually - interviews in the last while.  Even though the interviewers chatted the same author, about the same books, and about the same main character, each interview was distinct.  

First up was the one with Bill Selnes for Mysteries and More.   Bill has read and reviewed all three Sasha books.  Bill is also a practicing lawyer.  So, the lawyer side of him prompted some interesting questions.  Bill also posts his reflections in a separate post after publishing the interview.  I think it's really cool that he does that - I like reading his thoughts. Click here to read Q and A with Bill or click here for his reflections.I also love the fact that in his reviews, he picked up early on that Toronto is as much a character in my books as is Sasha or Lindsey or anyone else.  Thanks Bill! (If I ever get arrested and can only make one call, it would be to Bill Selnes).

Patricia Flewwelling interviewed me for Nine Day Wonder.  This is the only time I've been interviewed by someone I have actually met a couple of times (at book launches, Bloody Words, etc.).  She knows (and gets!) my sense of humour, so some of my answers are out in left field (Keith Richards & coconuts???) Check it out HERE.  I knew I could get away with being cheeky in this instance.  (If I ever want to collaborate with someone on writing a radio drama about Alfred E. Neuman, it would be Patricia.)

Paul D. Brazill interviewed me for "You Would Say That, Wouldn't You?" I like the range of questions Paul asked me, including questions about my own reading preferences, about social media, and about big dreams for the small screen.   Have a look at Paul's House of Ill Repute here.  (If I ever needed an alibi to cover me as part of planning the perfect crime, it would be Paul). 

Finally, Richard Godwin interviewed me at his Slaughter House.  I've got to say, Richard asked me some of the darkest and most diabolical questions I've yet been asked in an interview (about motives and motivations and other great stuff).  He made me think carefully about my answers.  Here is the link to the Chin Wag with Richard.  (If I ever need an accomplice to help me carry out the perfect crime, it would be Richard.)

Interviews... This time it's ME!!!

Over the last while I've posted a number of interviews that I've conducted with a wonderful bunch of mystery writers.  Now, I get to turn tables and share a few interviews in which I answer questions instead of asking them.

In March, Bill Selnes at Mysteries and More interviewed me after he had reviewed both Blood and Groom and Dead Light District. In this interview I mention getting tipped in hash and talk a bit about hardboiled sleuths.  Thanks Bill!

I was recently interviewed on Entertainment Realm by Amy Steele.  This was the second interview I did after Dead Light District came out.  Amy interviewed me after posting awesome reviews of both Sasha Jackson mysteries.  Amy asked me some good questions, and I especially liked giving a bit of the background to my books. We discussed Toronto and setting among other things.   I really appreciate Amy's interest in my books!

And just recently, Athabasca University - where I did an MA in Cultural Studies - posted a lovely two part profile on me and my books.  The first link is my former professor Gloria Filax interviewing me, and the second link is a bit of discussion on the series and what has shaped the books so far - basically it traces the journey from bookworm to published author.  I owe a lot to Athabasca University and have much to thank them for!
