Check out Mulholland Books & Giveaway

I am so excited about Little Brown's new imprint Mulholland Books! Mulholland Books' goal is simple: "to publish books you can’t stop reading." I don't know about you, but I love it!

Their books will come in a variety of forms including crime novels, thrillers, police procedurals, spy stories, and even supernatural suspense. Mulholland also plans to focus on online community building, internet marketing and authentic connections between authors, readers and publisher -- isn't that refreshing to us blogger folks?

I think Mulholland Books has so much potential. I can hardly wait until April 2011 when their first book will be published.

Check out these forthcoming books:

GUILT BY ASSOCIATION by Marcia Clark
A DROP OF THE HARD STUFF by Lawrence Block
THE WRECKAGE by Michael Robotham
BLOODLINE by Mark Billingham
TRIPLE CROSSING by Sebastian Rotella
THE BAYOU TRILOGY by Daniel Woodrell
FUN AND GAMES and HELL AND GONE by Duane Sweierczynski
Forthcoming Titles

and how about these authors:

• Mark Billingham
• Lawrence Block
• Lee Child
• Marcia Clark
• Charlie Huston
• Q.R. Markham
• Thomas Mullen
• Michael Robotham
• Sebastian Rotella
• Nick Santora
• Duane Swierczynski
• Daniel Woodrell

I'm a daily visitor to Mulholland Books' new blog, and I have to say they already have some fabulous guest posts from their favorite authors from the suspense writing community. So far they’ve posted a piece by Nick Tosches on the topic of genre, Patricia Highsmith and George V. Higgins and a Q&A between Shane Salerno and Don Winslow. And they also posted a fun piece about the intersection of comics and mystery novels by Brad Meltzer called “Batman is My Mr. Miyagi."

There will also be forthcoming posts from Nelson DeMille, Ken Bruen, Joe Lansdale, George Pelecanos, Alan Glynn, Tom Piccirilli, Megan Abbott, Charles Ardai, Paul Hoffman, Laura Lippman, Josh Bazell, Jason Pinter and more. And on top of that there will be guest posts by the Mulholland authors themselves: Charlie Huston, Marcia Clark, Duane Swierczynski, Michael Robotham and a must-see challenge from Lawrence Block.
