The MTS Braggatorium

I'm fairly new here, but if I can brag just a little ... I have a short story out in a new anthology. The story is "The Big Bash" and it's about a sting going wrong. It's in "Deadfall" an anthology of crime fiction by New England writers, published by Level Best Books. http://www.levelbestbooks.com/Deadfall.html

Congratulations!

Bragging again. I have a new story up at A Twist of Noir -

Enjoy.

I'm happy to be able to revive this thread. Today is the official release day for WORKING STIFF, the first book in my new mystery series featuring nurse-turned-coroner, Mattie Winston. It's been defined as "Stephanie Plum with a CSI twist," and has garnered nice reviews from Publishers Weekly and Romantic Times, as well as some great blurbs from authors such as Tess Gerritsen, Carolyn Hart, and Laura Levine.

That is so great! Thanks for sharing the good news!

Thank you very much for the congrats.

Congrats, Beth! I have to brag again, although it's not out yet, I just sold a short story to another Level Best Anthology, "Quarry." My short story is titled "Lights Out," and it takes place during the aftermath of an ice storm. "Quarry" will be out in November.

THE ERRAND BOY, wherever books are sold

THE ERRAND BOY (Three Rivers Press), the third novel in my Hector Bellevance literary suspense series, has recently been released to excellent notices. The two earlier novels in the series, COLD COMFORT (2001) and THE FIFTH SEASON (2005), were also well received.

Kirkus Reviews said, "Bredes writes superbly and creates compelling believable characters." And Marilyn Stasio in the New York Times Book Review wrote, "...inexplicable outbursts of violence take years, generations even, to fester into a poisonous hatred of one's neighbors--a position that Bredes argues with grave eloquence in this disquieting novel."

Please visit my Amazon author page or my Web site for more information.

Bumping because the newest anthology in Level Best Books series of crime fiction by New England writers is out. "Quarry" is available at the Level Best Books website and at selected independent bookstores, including River Run Books in Portsmouth, NH and Water Street Books in Exeter, NH. We have a reading at Water Street tonight, November 18th, at 7pm.

I'm published!!! My first work of fiction has been published at A Twist of Noir: http://a-twist-of-noir.blogspot.com/2009/11/twist-of-noir-260-todd-w-bush.html

I'm freaking giddy... I need a beer.

Congrats Todd! Well done.

Todd! That's awesome! I loved it!

Thanks girls!!!

Thanks for opening my eyes to A Twist of Noir. Now it's my turn to brag. Check out my story, The Role Player:

Congrats, Copper.

Nice, Copper! Fascinating character. I could see this expanded into a novel.

But my poor, poor eyes. Why do they do that color scheme? I'm blind!

Thanks!

Yeah, the black background -- great for creating that 'noir' vibe, not so great for reading.

Yeah, I tried to read it and got a pain in my eye. If you have any control, have them dial back one of the colors - light grey on the text or dark grey on the background.

Whatever happened to good old black text, white page? There's a reason it's a standard. Honestly. Some people try too hard to be fancy.

Off to find the plumes for my hat for church tonight...

Big, big brag for me. I've been trying to break into Beat To A Pulp since it started a year ago. This week marks my first story in this ezine. One of my favorite stories. Let me know what you think!

Excellent, jesey! I'm excited for you, and it's a fantastic story!

Great, jessy!!!

Aw shucks. I gotta say, even if I did write it, I like that story. I'm allowed to brag in the braggatorium, right?
