Spinetingler Magazine



the fall issue of Spinetingler is out! what a lineup of short stories by some of my favorite writers. In glancing over the table of contents, I can see this is will be an issue to savor. It includes an interview with Peter Robinson, along with a review of Piece of My Heart.

James spelled 'rocks' wrong. :P

Thanks for the big push Anne! Thrilled to have had a chance to read the book in time to get the review in. A personal best? Really? Well, I was completely honest. I hope others read PI and enjoy it as much as I did.

Jeff said...

I'm looking forward to reading this issue of Spinetingler.
Fantastic review of Pale Immortal, Sandra. :)

Mindy Tarquini said...

Thanks for the link, Anne. You're a doll.

anne frasier said...

sandra: LOL! i loved the RAWKS spelling!

jeff, looks like a good one! i can't wait to dig in.

m.g.: your welcome. i can't wait to read about your adventure!

james: i thought i'd lost my mind this morning. i thought i saw your story up there, then i didn't...which made me think i must have seen it on the title page of thrilling detective. but now all is squared away and you are where you should be! can't wait to read the new kid!
congratulations!!

James Goodman said...

Thanks, Anne. I'm devouring the magazine even as we speak. I just took a little break to cruise the blogosphere. Oh, and RAWKS vs. Rocks. I picked that up somewhere and it just stuck :D

BTW, Sandra's review of Pale Immortal makes me want to drop the book I'm reading now and move directly to PI. I can't wait to er, sink my teeth into it.

Anonymous said...

Whoa!! That is a serious, serious issue. Sorry I have to run, I'm going over to check it out.

Sandra Ruttan said...

Thanks Jeff, and James (you RAWK!)...

Jason, serious issue? There's at least one thing that should prompt a smile. Promise. :)

angie said...

Great review for Pale Immortal. Aren't ya glad you didn't go for the kool aid?!

anne frasier said...

james: RAWKS is nice. i have a feeling i'll be using that at some point. and sandra's review made ME want to read PI. :D

jason: it does look like a good one!

sanda, i've said this before, but i love that photo. you just look SO...sly!

angie, good thing i had to take the time to mix it up! the kool aid, that is. that's tasteless, isn't it?

Rob Gregory Browne said...

Nice of you to give Sandra a plug. She's a great gal and one of my Killer Year pals.

Sandra Ruttan said...

Aw, Rob is so sweet! I didn't even pay him to say that!

anne frasier said...

rob, she is a great gal!

she's also a tease. ;)

Elizabeth Krecker said...

You're so sweet, Anne! I'm so bummed that I'm not going to Bouchercon so that I could meet you, though I'm sure you'll be plenty swamped with blog friends without me!

Can't WAIT to read your book after reading this great review! Spinetingler RAWKS!!!! and so does Anne Frasier!!

anne frasier said...

elizabeth, i wish you were going to bouchercon too! but there will be other conferences, and i have the feeling our paths will eventually cross. does that sound threatening? :D
