Great news for Brad Denton, and I hope I see him at Armadillocon to congratulate him.

I LOVE Denton. I recently wrote about Blackburn and called Denton one of the best kept secrets out there. I also tangentially linked him to Willeford.
Also Denton made Buddy Holly available for free on his site awhile back.
Thanks, Bill! I'm so sorry I missed you at 'dilloCon . . . I was only able to come up on Sunday this year.
Brian -- Thanks to you too, man. I am humbled by the link (tangential or otherwise) to Mr. Willeford.
From the review:
"Reading Laughin’ Boy reminded me of a quote from one of my favorite writers, Charles Willeford, which could have just as easily come from the mouth of Bradley Denton:
“Just tell the truth, and they’ll accuse you of writing black humor.”
Well Bradley Denton tells the truth and it’s called black humor."
