Advice

The Detroit Noir tour has gone on holiday break, but stay tuned: There will be some new events in the new year.

All of the readings were a blast, thanks to everyone involved.

You're only as good as the company you keep -- I think that's one of the abiding themes of noir -- and if you're a neophyte writer-type who does no public speaking ever, I advise you to surround yourself with educators and broadcast professionals for your initial public appearances.

Thanks to everyone who showed up, and my thanks especially to EJ, Lolita, Tina Vowels, Steve and Charlie.
