“Partners in Crime” (by Josh Pachter)

“Partners in Crime” (by Josh Pachter) | SOMETHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN: Josh Pachter hardly needs introduction to readers of this site. He has posted here several times, and his name is also seen frequently in the pages of EQMM, as both a translator for our Passport to Crime department and as an author of short stories (he has some four dozen stories in print). Today he talks about literary collaboration. EQMM has its roots in one of the most fruitful literary collaborations ever, that of Frederic Dannay and Manfred B. Lee, so the topic is right on target for us. As Josh mentions in his post, his most recent book-length collaboration is Styx by Bavo Dhooge, to be released by Simon & Schuster next week.—Janet Hutchings
