I continue to put my butt in the chair and write on. It’s hard to fear a problem when you are making progress on it—even if progress is imperfect and slow. Word by word, day by day.

 

Here are 3 crime fiction links, 2 quotes, and 1 question for this week:

 

3 LINKS

• Have you read it yet? Released over the summer, MEXICAN GOTHIC continues to pick up fans. NPR talks to the author about the setting, eugenics, and language. It’s also getting a big-time Hulu adaptation.

• If you’re a fan of detective flicks and feel like you’re scraping the bottom of the streaming barrel, Screen Rant has a list of 10 more obscure ones you might try. Good STRAY DOGS reminder.
  

• I always wanted McConaughey to reprise his role as Mickey Haller for more Lincoln lawyer flicks. Grisham is stumping for him to return to Jake Brigance.
