It’s true, we’re having a lot of fun up here at Lemuria. (no there wasn’t really anything in Big D’s bottle) and there are lots of ways to get in on the fun – browsing the store, attending our great author events, reading our blog and website, but one of the best ways to be plugged in with us is our First Editions Club. The club is really at the core of what we do here – we’re all about the books and the club is the best book we’re working on each month. Every month members of the club get a signed first edition mailed to them or they drop by and pick it up. (more info here) This month is special because we’re picking two books: Elmore Leonard’s Road Dogs and Michael Connelly’s Scarecrow. Why two? Well, we couldn’t pass on using Elmore Leonard again we’ve picked him for the club four times: Riding the Rap in 1995, Pronto in 1993, Be Cool in 1999 and Tishomingo Blues in 2002 and after all he’s widely considered the greatest crime writer alive. We got to know Michael Connelly last year with The Brass Verdict and I’m telling you this guy is 100% pro. I read every book in about 3 months. (haven’t read all of Leonard’s but I think there are 43 as apposed to Connelly’s 20) Martin Amis once said, “Elmore Leonard is a literary genius who writes re-readable thrillers.” I think the same applies for Michael Connelly. And of course both authors are part of our Super Duper Crime Fiction event next Monday night!
