The Layla's Score sequel

I don't know how many people who follow me read my crime novel Layla's Score (about a hitman and his seven-year-old daughter), but the sequel Layla's Gone is out now. I'm very excited about it.

Layla's Gone is a crazy book that goes beyond the normal hitman action/crime novel story stuff. In this one, a mob boss kidnaps Layla to make Lefty (her daddy) and Orlando Williams (his former rival-turned-f Read more of this blog post »

Joe Lansdale is a master of the short story form. All of these stories are memorable and magnificent. Some of these aren't really crime stories, but they're still fantastic, so who cares? ...more

This book is terrific. All five of these stories are spot-on. I particularly enjoyed the last one, which took some unexpected turns. Don Winslow once again proves he's a master. He's said he's retiring. I sure as hell hope he doesn't. ...more

This is an interesting book, primarily because of David Foster Wallace's involvement, but it doesn't have much to offer readers in 2026. It is a time capsule, but it is more about white America's late-1980s fear of rap music, the authors' own tastes ...more

Chuck Palahniuk
“Only after disaster can we be resurrected. It's only after you've lost everything that you're free to do anything. Nothing is static, everything is evolving, everything is falling apart.”
― Chuck Palahniuk, Fight Club

Harlan Ellison
“People on the outside think there’s something magical about writing, that you go up in the attic at midnight and cast the bones and come down in the morning with a story, but it isn’t like that. You sit in back of the typewriter and you work, and that’s all there is to it.”
― Harlan Ellison
