Wo ist "Endstation Chaos"
This is the German cover for the book titled TERMINAL STATE here in the US. Jeff Somers has a great blog post about it here.
Of course, I made the comment Endstation Chaos was the name of my subway stop.
Jeff quickly corrected me: "It's the name of your office."

When wrong is just right!
Cover design is a big deal in book publishing. Get the wrong one, and buyers pass you up in the store faster than you can hiss "don't judge a book by its cover!"
We have been very fortunate to have brilliant covers for Gary Corby's two books from Minotaur. His debut, THE PERICLES COMMISSION is one of my all time favorites:
The Australia editon went in a very different direction but I love it as well:
Now, what you and I probably wouldn't catch right away, but Gary (meticulous researcher that he is!) did was there is something very wrong about this coin! Here's his blog post about finding out what was wrong.

Au contraire, Mr. Woodrell!
In this interview Daniel Woodrell says "You want to hear an agent scream, say 'I'm thinking of a collecion of short stories set in the Ozarks.'"
Mr Woodrell, I would buy any collection of yours, including your grocery lists most likely, as would all of your rabid fans.
And the quote of the day just has to be: "I was at a country picking thing the other day and some old boy said, ‘It’s [the Oscars] like the procession of the Sun King, buddy. You’ve got to go.’”

The Devotion of Translator X!
Ok, not quite X. We know his name.
There's a wonderful interview with the translator of one of my favorite books: THE DEVOTION OF SUSPECT X in in Shelf Awareness. (Scroll down to the bottom of the column for it, it's the last one)
