Since Reed Farrel Coleman’s latest Moe Prager mystery, Innocent Monster, is coming out next week from Tyrus Books, I was asked to create a slideshow to help celebrate the launch. For those of you who aren’t familiar with Reed or his books, below is a quick intro.
I could’ve mentioned that Reed is an award-winning novelist, poet and professor of writing at Hofstra University, but I thought I’d have some fun. (You can get the real story on his website.) What I took away from meeting him at this year’s L.A. Times Festival of Books is that he’s not only a gracious, talented writer but a man with a great sense of humor.
Hope you enjoy the show.

Most importantly…

September 30, 2010 at 6:23 amJen stole my line! But, that was hysterical! And, you got our dear friend Kaye Barley in that slideshow, too. [she the owner of that thigh move ;-)].
Does RC know he’s in this? And that he’s comes off muy macho with the Cole-man? This was great, Elyse.

September 30, 2010 at 1:01 pmJen—Thanks so much! I love it when you encourage my inappropriateness.
le0pard13—Yeah, Kaye was getting frisky there. And no, Crais doesn’t know. I get away with more if I don’t tell him everything.
Sara—Oh, wow, thank you. I’m just glad Reed hasn’t sent me a cease-and-desist letter or threatened a defamation suit.
Reader#9—Always happy to make you laugh!
