Today brings what I hope will be a pretty exciting new chapter in my blogging life. Click here to witness my introduction as Kirkus Reviews’ lead blogger in the Mysteries and Thrillers category.
If everything works out as planned, I shall be posting at the revamped Kirkus site once or twice a week for the foreseeable future. At the same time, I’ll continue to write and edit The Rap Sheet, compose Killer Covers, and keep up my usual editing responsibilities for January Magazine. What this new Kirkus gig means is that I can cut back on some other freelance-writing efforts, which is a good thing.
In my debut post for Kirkus, I write about five crime novelists who almost never disappoint, people whose work I turn to whenever I need a dependable, “comfort read”: Max Allan Collins, Loren D. Estleman, Erle Stanley Gardner, Peter Lovesey, and Edward Marston. If you’d like to offer your own top five list of “old reliables”--and I hope you will--click here and leave a comment at the bottom of the page.

Congrats on the new job! I'll be sure to follow along as you keep us all mysteriously entertained (as it were)!
Jeff, here's hoping you can give Kirkus some sorely need integrity. They are pretty much known to hate anything PWA and Booklist like.

Hot damn. A very prestigious appointment. Congratulations!
Congrats, Jeff. You're going to be busy.

The link has been added to my reader....Knock 'em Dead
Great news, Jeff! I've added your Kirkus column link to my favorites and will check back often. I truly appreciate all you do for crime fiction wearing your various fedoras.
Terrific news, Jeff. Congratulations. That's good news for all of us who love mysteries.
Congrats on the new gig, Jeff.
Hallelujah for Estleman!
Congratulations! That's great news, especially these days when the news seems to be that there will be LESS coverage of books and not more.
Cool Beans, dude! Got you bookmarked.
Way to go, Jeff! I don't know who's luckier - you or Kirkus.
Great list. Mine include: Laurie R. King, Lawrence Block, Reginald Hill, John Lawton and Sam Eastland. Many congrats on the gig.
Congratulations!
Congratulations, Jeff...on the gig as well as the first-rate debut post.
Belated congrats, Jeff - you, more than anyone, deserves to make regular mint off of your coverage of the crime fiction universe, and I'm very glad Kirkus is giving you the opportunity and platform to do so.
I want to thank everyone who has passed along their congratulations on this new assignment. I am humbled by your faith in me.
Cheers,
Jeff
