Many of you have been curious about the writing of Black Bart—the Fredhead alias of my wife, author Diane Ayres. Just wanted to let you know that she has a wonderfully dark and funny new story in a collection being published in November, Philadelphia Noir, which also features stories by a number of our friends and colleagues in the Philly writing community, and is part of the highly-praised Noir series being done around the world.

Here’s a link to buy Philadelphia Noir. And if you haven’t read it, here’s a link to Diane’s amazing first published novel, Other Girls.

If you’re in the Philly area and want to come to one of the bookstore events at which Diane will appear, here’s the current schedule:
Sun., Nov. 7, 2:30pm Robin’s Bookstore & Moonstone Arts Center 110A South 13th St
