Shots has just posted the latest installment of critic-author Mike Ripley’s “Getting Away with Murder” column (which seems a bit rife with typos, if you ask me). The subjects this time include the recent passing of Michael Dibdin, the crediting of books to dogs, the soundtrack of John Connolly’s latest novel, The Unquiet, and some advice the columnist once received from the late Alan Hunter, author of the Inspector George Gently novels. As Ripley writes, Hunter told him to “start a new book every 1st September--‘that way you keep your summers free.’ When I said: ‘what if I don’t have an idea for a book on 1st September?’ he stared at me in disbelief and said: ‘Just start writing anyway.’”
