News about Kevin Wignall
Ripped from Publishers Marketplace and confirmed by Kevin via email: His novel For the Dogs has been optioned for film. For the Dogs came out in the US in 2004 published by Simon & Schuster. It’s a very unusual crime novel with more than passing literary traits and a terrific climax. Go to Simon & Schuster and ask for a copy; no, go ahead, it’s okay. Or, go to a bookstore.
Kevin reports that his latest book is being sent to publishers in the UK. He has one other novel available on these shores, People Die. If you’re the lady in New Zealand who reads my blog, thanks for reading, but I don’t know what to tell you about locating Kevin’s books.
My review of For the Dogs is somewhere in the archives at Collected Miscellany. Kevin Holtsberry wrote a review of People Die in the summer of 2004. On a normal blog there would be squiggly lines indicating live links, but, this is not a normal blog, or even a paranormal one. Sarah Weinman, whose blog Confessions of an Idiosyncratic Mind, covers the crime fiction beat far better than your reporter, is the place to go for news like this. Link is on the right.
