To quote the famous philosopher, Meat Loaf…

Meat Loaf…two out of three ain’t bad. I posted three new reviews to Onyx Reviews yesterday. Two out of three books are currently available (the Lansdale isn’t released until July) and two out of the three are very good (I’ll leave it to you to figure out which isn’t—it’s not much of a challenge!)

I’m still working away through a re-read of my own novel, and I’m still liking what I see about 20% of the way in. I’m not sure when my agent will be ready to talk about the novel, hopefully later on this week, but I hope to be done with the readthrough by then.

I think they’re trying a little too hard to turn the new Jeff Goldblum character on Law & Order: Criminal Intent into a hybrid of Patrick Jane from The Mentalist and the guy from Lie to Me, able to divine sophisticated details from minimal data and a dollop of intuition. Stating without a doubt that someone is going through a divorce because he called his spouse “his wife” instead of calling her by name, or figuring there will be a second corpse because a man’s gun is missing from his holster. I like him, but I think he needs to be less perfect in his analyses. In fact, I’d love to see him miss the mark completely from time to time.
