Just back from Reed Farrel Coleman's publication party for THE JAMES DEANS, hosted by Partners & Crime. I had seen Coleman by the snack table at S.J. Rozan's ABSENT FRIENDS launch. Tonight my friend John Ricotta came along, and we got to chat withe Reed before the store filled with people. Great guy.
I also got to meet for the first time: Charlie Stella and Pat Lambe (who carpooled with Dave White) and Jason Starr. Charlie and I recognized each other without introductions. In fact, we all seemed like old friends once blogs were mentioned—most notably Sarah Weinman's. I caught up with S.J. Rozan again, shared my read of her Bill Smith-centered novel STONE QUARRY, and learned it was the first book she wrote (though published sixth) in the series.
My thanks again to Reed, the staff of Partners, and everyone I met, for a great night.
