Reed Farrel Coleman interviewed by Shamus finalist Jack Bludis

I had hoped to mention this earlier, but the weather here and various issues connected to that means I did not get it done.

Last week, after I posted my review of Innocent Monster I got a very nice note from author Jack Bludis about the review. Mr. Bludis is the author of many published novels including his latest titled Shadow of the Dahlia which is a Shamus finalist.
 
There are a handful of authors that I respect tremendously and when Mr. Bludis speaks, I listen.

Mr. Bludis pointed me to an interview he conducted with author Reed Farrel Coleman that is posted over on the ThrillingDetective.com website owned and operated by Kevin Burton Smith. One can always find lots of good stuff on there and it is a wonderful thing for all readers that the site is going again.

The main page is at http://www.thrillingdetective.com/ and the specific interview if you want to go straight to it is at: http://www.thrillingdetective.com/non_fiction/i002.html

The interview is a wide ranging one that covers a lot of aspects regarding the career of the author, the series and what it was like working with author Ken Bruen among other things. Lots of good stuff in the interview and well worth your time.
 
And if you have not read the Moe Prager series, you absolutely need to read them in order starting with the excellent Walking The Perfect Square.
