Eclectic list of interesting, original and imaginative voices. I look for authors of compelling work in both fiction and non-fiction. Crime fiction is my specialty and it ranges from smart girls with guns to rat pack noir best read with a martini and a sardonic sneer at danger.

Particular interests: crime fiction, justice and death penalty issues, African politics, contemporary art, contemporary music, and how-to books.

Sadly, I don't handle poetry, plays, screenplays or other labors of love.
