An Aztec in Central Park
Okay it’s Sunday and as promised the opening to Aztec, about seven hundred words, is posted herewith. I’ve put it under the ‘optional excerpt’ feature since it is an excerpt and reading it optional. I’ll be curious to see what this feature actually does; it is new to me since the upgrade on Friday.
SMP sent me the new Michael Koryta novel as well as Steve Hockingsmith’s Holmes on the Range. I think Ben Sevier is Steve’s editor and Peter Wolverton is Michael’s. It’s the first time since last winter SMP has sent me anything when I reviewed Ken Bruen’s The Magdalen Martyrs one of my favorite books from 2005. Dope is up next though. I’ll post my review of that here and at Metaxu Cafe and maybe at The Untrained Eye on Publishers Marketplace.
Hat tip to Steve Clackson for linking his readers to this humble page. Steve, I’ll add you to the roster at PM while Google scientists and engineers work with Depew in the basement; the Romans have cut the feeds again. They are a nuisance.
