Short story writer, Nigel Bird, has started a series of interviews on his blog, Sea Minor, called Dancing with Myself. Each "interviewee" asks and answers 10 questions they wish they were asked. There are two interviews up already one with Jon Jordan, editor of Crimespree, and the editor of Crimefactory, Keith Rawson. Nigel also has a list of upcoming interviews so be sure to check back on a regular basis. http://nigelpbird.blogspot.com/

And a short story for your Sunday reading pleasure. "Gunpoint" by Fred Blosser http://www.beattoapulp.com/stor/2010/0829_fb_Gunpoint.cfm You've gotta love mercenaries, no matter what era they lived in. And a story steeped in legend, well, it just doesn't get any better than that.
