Once Again Texas Leads the Way
UT establishes the Dan Jenkins Medal for Excellence in Sportswriting | Arts & Culture: Two worthy sports writers will be selected this year as the inaugural winners of the Dan Jenkins Medal for Excellence in Sportswriting. The fact that the award named after the legendary Fort Worth sports writer known for bleeding TCU purple is based at the University of Texas doesn’t make it Dead Solid Perfect, but maybe that’s Life Its Ownself.

Another Cool Interview with Me
PAUL BISHOP ~ WRITER: ALLIGATOR MAN—BILL CRIDER: This is another interview where full disclosure is required. Bill Crider and I have been friends since our early days of mystery fandom and fanzines. We both broke into professional fiction writing in the mid-eighties, both in (different) men’s adventure series paperbacks published under pseudonyms.

Dangerous to Know -- Renee Patrick
But the smuggling case is a minor problem. The main case has to do with a pianist named Jens Lohse, who's disappeared. Marlene Dietrich asks Head to try to find him, and Head enlists Frost. The case becomes complicated with gangsters, Nazis, and more real-life Hollywood personalities than you can shake a stick at. Lillian's love life gets more complicated, too.
The book is just plain fun to read, especially if you love movies and old Hollywood. Patrick doesn't skimp on research, and the book's packed with details that ring absolutely true because they are. Since both Frost and Head are at the beginnings of their careers, I hope we can look forward to many years of sequels to come.
