Writers of hard-boiled, pulp, mystery, and suspense reveal secrets about their fiction, and the writing life. All interviews are conducted by Clute and Edwards, and new episodes post on the fifteenth of each month.
"What's happening to the Private Eye novel?...RUNOFF is the Answer." So declared January Magazine of Mark Coggins's fourth, and most recent, installment in the August Riordan...
It's official. Dunkin will release on the 23rd of July, all 30 chapters! The inaugural podcast of Literary Lugwrench will air July 22nd. There will be no at-large submissions read, because you are all too chickenshit to send anything. Har! Nah, I'm sure you feared the massive evisceration; but it ain't that bad (check out my less-than-fawning review of a mainstream novel). Okay...I know not enough people are aware we're doing this clodcast thing yet. Besides, I managed to jabber away about some interesting tips for writing and some other useful stuff. ALSO! I included a complete read of a short story I've been offered money for, but not enough...so they can kiss my ass.
So you get Dunkin, the audiobook, plus a podcast and a GREAT story (if I must say so myself.,..and I must) AND an opportunity to log into a live chat with The Hack and his co-conspirators on the 22nd. Mark this on yer calendars and take advantage of the chance to call me a icky name and receive the kind of instant gratification you MTV rodents require. I think to do this chat thing, you have to add...uhh, ignatiousriley to yer chat buddies, then click that and join. I don't chat much, so if anyone knows better, let me know and I'll update the instructificationary section of this post. AACK! NO CHAT! I just found out I have to build some kinda Cedar Hot Tub room for somebody way south; so I'll be out of town. I'll reschedule after I shoot the last nail...I gotta eat and buy my sailboat.

I'm re-recording Devlin, Abnormal Investigations: Case File The Hell Hermit. My first attempt at audiobook production fell far short of my personal minimum requirements for being something I can proudly associate with my bad name. I'm half-way finished and working diligently. I re-uploaded all 22 chapters of Crusade after I ran them through a volume equalizer called Levelator, so all chapters should have consistent volume. I am now going to concentrate on recording Dunkin, The Vampire Slayer: Something Porcine This Way Comes for the next audio project. I have had 20,000 downloads in less than two months and book sales are trickling upward. I can't buy that boat I want to live on in Florida, but I have a goal at least. I'm thinking something the equivalent of a Chinese Junk parked on a marina with several bars within walking distance.
BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!! I will be giving away a website valued at $2000—FREE!!! Just like this one (different design and graphics) But custom made for the winner. With a wordpress blog, a forum, back-end maintenance, stats, sales cart, and one year's free hosting! Stay tuned for details right here in the next couple days!
Oh, and I promised to show pics of the two idjits who do the programming part of this site: Here is the Levinator!
I design the graphics and the layout using Photoshop, Freehand, Illustrator, etc. I flowchart the layout, then these cretins complain and piddle slowly doing the boring crap.

This is a current project author, Greg Crites, is fine tuning. The third and final installment in the Dunkin the Vampire Slayer trilogy. We've included the entire first chapter for those who have followed the series.
Okay, so we are reconfiguring things. None of us are programmers. The author, GCC, thinks he is a programmer. In actuality, he is more of 'The Antiprogrammer'. By that we mean: any line of code he tinkers with crashes the entire system. In light of this harsh reality, we now have changed the focus of GCC's novel and scribbling sales. Rather than have forty little icons for every available option of his books (forty little icons he can screw up on the back-end of this site), you get two options, and both are guaranteed secure as you will be using PAYPAL on their site. We collect no payment information, and wouldn't know what to do with it if we did.
Another Devlin Novel currently being written by The Hack. For those fans of Devlin we have included chapter one of this newest bit of nonsense. Estimated completion date: May 31, 2008 (If we can keep him sober and upright long enough to finish)
