Thursday’s pilot: Jenny Siler
And so, the Great Guestblogger Month comes to a close today, and our final guest will be Jenny Siler. I’ve professed several times here about how much a fan I am of her books — ever since I picked up a paperback copy of her first novel, EASY MONEY, and was blown away for two reasons: her writing, which is several points lyrical, spare and wholly individual, and that there were so few women writing the kind of noir thrillers I tend to enjoy. Since that book was first published in 1998, she’s followed with three more standalones, ICED (2000) SHOT (2002) and FLASHBACK (2004.) Book number five, AN ACCIDENTAL AMERICAN, will be out in the UK about this time next year and hopefully, about the same time in the US if somebody’s listening.
Now, I’m cheating slightly because Jenny used to blog over at her own site, but if this stint spurs her to get back to it, all the better. Whatever the case, I’m looking forward to what she has to say.
