Ian Pattison, on how writing Rab C Nesbitt is more lucrative than crime fiction.
Why, Philip Kerr? Why? Well, there's one film I won't be going to see, anyway.
John Buchan's The 39 Steps a comedy thriller?
Louise Welsh in Iowa City on Sunday, Ian Rankin at the Aberfeldy Festival, Denise Mina in Berlin next February (sometimes I wish I was a famous writer rather than an obscure one). And Val McDermid and Alexander McCall Smith at the Dundee Literary Festival.
Lots of stuff about Alexander McCall Smith today.
Ewan McGregor on Irvine Welsh's TRAINSPOTTING.
Ken Hebenstreit pronounces Chris Ewan "not in the best of shape" but marvellous despite that.
Hmmmmmmm, I might have to subscribe to the Ayrshire Post so that I can get the new Tony Black early.
He's not Scottish, but here's a great interview with one of my favourite authors (and all round lovely man) Ken Bruen.
And, finally, the utterly brilliant (and totally bonkers) Douglas Lindsay on 'lugzhury'.

Donna, me too on not going to that film. Why, Philip Kerr? Wonderful interview with Bruen! Now I am off to start trying to pronounce "lugzhury"...no, would rather open a book and read good words.
