Aly Monroe with a very thoughtful post on the value of translators.
Charles Cumming on espionage. And a mini-review of his TYPHOON in USA Today.

Donna,
ReplyDeleteWhat about me? I love the damned place so much they named me after it...
love
Scott
in case that seems like a non sequitur, I meant my absence from the list of blogs and your declaration at left about Scotland and writers and...I may have had a bit to drink last night.
ReplyDeleteScott - as one of my favourite authors (Folks, if you haven't read COTTONWOOD or THE ICE HARVEST, do yourselves a favour and rush out and buy them), and writer of one of my favourite strange blogs, I've added you to the Criminally Good Links section. Now, when's the next book due out?
ReplyDeleteI haven't even heard of 44 INCH CHEST, but I love Ray Winstone. I'll need to keep an eye out for it, though I'm sure I'll have to wait for DVD, since the philistines in this town who decide what movies are shown aren't to be counted on to Do The Right Thing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kudos....
ReplyDeleteSeptember in the US, who knows in the UK, but I'll get you a copy before that
Chris - great film - a little bit different.
ReplyDeleteScott - woohoo! Can't wait - thank you :o)
