Good news: Orange County Noir made the Southern California Independent Booksellers bestseller list (trade paperback fiction). Thanks to everyone who bought a copy and made this possible.
I posted these earlier, but here's an update re: events I'll be at:
This coming Wednesday, my co-host Marrie Stone, will facilitate an interview on "Writers on Writing" with Gary, Patricia McFall, and me, all talking about the book and writing noir fiction. Tune in at 9 a.m. Pacific, 88.9 FM in Orange County, and online at www.kuci.org and iTunes/radio/Talk & news.

Smith, Mary Castillo, Gary Phillips, and I will talk about the book and writing dark fiction at my Pen on Fire Speakers Series at the Scape Gallery, 2859 East Coast Highway, Corona del Mar. CJ Bahnsen will moderate. If you'd like to be on the mailing list for this event, email penonfire@earthlink.net and in the subject line say "put me on the mailing list for OC Noir at Scape."

Love your story, Barbara. And love to see this book getting all the well-deserved press! Can't wait for a few of these events. Brava!
As an aside, I used to have this old boss back in my Smith Barney days who was about 125 years old. Solely out of ignorance, he routinely referred to "Placentia" as "Placenta." "Gotta drive down to Placenta today," he would say. Of course, he also thought Elvis was quite literally a king. I grew tired of correcting him.
