More Swierczy Than You Can Possibly Stand

Every day this week, Jason Boog over at The Publishing Spot is lobbing a different question at me. Monday, he asked about Secret Dead Blog. Tuesday, it was editing Damn Near Dead (in which I reveal that I'm a yellow-bellied coward.) What will today bring? (Update: Wednesday is up now.)

Tomorrow, I'm headed to New York City for something I'm not allowed to talk about yet. Let's just say it involves a giant heist, a video camera and a green screen. I'll reveal all soon enough... but it's a pretty cool opportunity.

Friday brings the third instalment of Behind the Black Mask: Mystery Writers Revealed podcast feautring... yeah, you're way ahead of me. Co-hosts Shannon Clute and Richard Edwards taped this interview with me in early summer. It's been so long that I've forgotten what I said. (Hope I was witty.) On Friday you'll be able to download this single podcast right from the site, but I highly recommend subscribing to both Black Mask and Out of the Past: Investigating Film Noir.

And finally Saturday brings the long-awaited Damn Near Dead Group Chat over at Gerald So's joint. I'll be joined by Charles Ardai, Ray Banks, Bill Crider, Sean Doolittle, Jason Starr, David Thompson and Sarah Weinman. Think about it as the ultimate Bouchercon panel... where pants are optional. The madness begins 6:45 p.m., EST. See Gerald's site for details.

Yes, I am sick of me.
