Back in blogging action...

The lack of posts is good news: I've been working hard on the new book. Unless, of course, you don't enjoy the books, in which case this is not good news. But if you don't enjoy the books, why in the world are you visiting my blog? Oh, you're family, you say? Well, thanks for the support guys. Carrying on...

1) Check out the Texas Book Festival this weekend if you are in the Austin area. I'm fortunate to have the opportunity to appear on a panel with the great Joe Lansdale, and I'm hoping I'm not asked any questions so I can just listen to him. I'm certain the audience will agree. Harry Hunsicker will moderate.

2) A very nice review for THE RIDGE appeared in London's The Times on Saturday, and they wisely opted to run a photograph of a cougar instead of my author picture. I'm grateful, and considering the same substitution on my next dust jacket. No link, but I'll take this highlight quote anytime: "Michael Koryta has been compared to Stephen King, and with good reason: he has the same ability to see the sinister and supernatural in small-town America and make it feel like it belongs there."

3) Stay tuned for some news updates shortly...
