Gerald and Ali Go to Bouchercon

Today on his blog (Existentialist Man) chemist, thriller writer, and critic Ali Karim mentions our meeting at Bouchercon 2008 in Baltimore:

I was delighted to actually spend some time [last autumn in Baltimore] with Gerald So - after many years of reading his work as fiction editor at Thrilling Detective, his blogging, his Twittering and his work as editor at ‘The Line-Up’. Gerald and his fellow co-editors Patrick Shawn Bagley, R. Narvaez, and Anthony Rainone have now produced Volume II of their collections of Crime-Fiction Poetry. Gerald kindly asked me to contribute to this volume, but due to my usual deadline juggling battles was unable to meet the timeline. I got my copy of ‘The Line-Up’ Vol II and was very impressed to find amongst the collection, pieces by award-winning poet Sophie Hannah as well as CWA Diamond Dagger Winner John Harvey both of whom incidentally attended the Baltimore event last year.


Ali goes on to urge his readers to buy The Lineup, plug our appearance on CrimeWAV, and offer this memento of our meeting:
