Slowdown

Like many of my litblogging colleagues, I’ll be shutting down the joint for the most part from now till after New Year’s. But stay tuned for my last Sun column, which ran on Sunday the 26th. It’s a little different than usual as I round up some crime novels that are usually overlooked during the year: paperback originals and small press publications.

And since I have to work between Christmas and New Year’s, chances are I’ll slip in an occasional post now and then. But barring that, it’ll be rather quiet around here. So to all those who read the blog regularly or just trip across it, have a wonderful holiday, and see you back in 2005.
