Possibly my most egregious pun yet, this entry's title refers to the slice of pizza and conversation I had with Jim Winter today. Jim is in the Metro area this week promoting his book NORTHCOAST SHAKEDOWN and meeting locals like Dave White, Pat Lambe, Charlie Stella, and me.
We checked out Dead End Books in Hicksville, where Jim interested the owner in NORTHCOAST and pointed out the current issue of Mystery News (in which he is interviewed). He bought a copy of PISTOL POETS by Victor Gischler, and I bought BEAT THE DEVIL on DVD for $5.55.
We then walked to Two Guys Pizza where talk turned to the tech boom, New Jersey, baseball, and our favorite Net personalities. Then Jim caught the LIRR back to Manhattan for BruenFest's Black Orchid stop. I, alas, cannot hang with cool writer folk tonight.
Jim's a big, affable guy—a pleasure to meet. Buy his book.
