The USC Master of Professional Writing Alumni Association: Thank you for supporting us writers, as we schooled Los Angeles on what Noir is all about.
Thank you to my fellow Noir writers in crime: Los Angeles Noir Editor Denise Hamilton, Emory Holmes II, Christine McKellar, and Tod Goldberg. You are all such fine artists.
Jethro Nededog: My friend and producer of this fabulous event. You are a talent in every way. This whole thing was all you--cool, coordinated, classy, and community-oriented. Thank you for making this happen.

Celebrate the Dark Art: Night of Noir in L.A. This Saturday
Tuesday, June 24, 2008
Writers Denise Hamilton, Tod Goldberg, Emory Holmes, Jim Pascoe, Christine McKellar, Gary Phillips, and I will read from our respective Noir stories.
We will see which city produces darker crime fiction--Los Angeles or Las Vegas? The birthplace of Noir or Sin City?
In case you didn't know, the Akashic Books Noir series started in Brooklyn, where the publisher asked local writers to whip up dark tales from around their block. The anthology was so popular that Akashic moved on to other bouroughs of New York City, and then out-of-state and around the nation.
Of course, the series eventually made it out west, and now here we are in L.A. with quality crime fiction about the very neighborhoods that you live in. Of course, not to be overlooked, there's Las Vegas Noir, which paints a very lively, very full picture of just how dark life can be--even off the Strip.
So, if you like fiction, and you like dark tales, see your way over to Imix on Saturday. Live jazz chanteuse and wine bar not to be missed.
Saturday, June 28
6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
