Paula's Comments on Spooks,
Spies, And Private Eyes |
|
February
4, 1997
Thanks to all of you who've enjoyed and written to me about
this landmark collection of historically significant and
comtemporary mystery, crime, and suspense fiction by black
authors.The popular and critical acclaim for Spooks, Spies
has been very gratifying. Among the latest has been Anthony
and Shamus Awards for best short story for Gar Anthony Haywood's
"And Pray Nobody Sees You." Many new writers have been inspired
by the interest in the genre and the stories in Spooks,
Spies to write their own mystery short fiction or novels.
Look for my article in the May 1997 issue of Mary Higgins
Clark Magazine where I'll "clue you in" to some of the best!
Your interest and support have also inspired me to "get
in the groove" and write my first mystery novel, "Inner
City Blues," featuring LAPD homicide detective Charlotte
Justice. It's due from WW Norton in 1999. Thanks again for
your interest and enthusiasm. — Paula L. Woods |
