Dipping a Toe in the Water

Following the sudden disappearance last month of Spinetingler Magazine, there came word that co-founder and longtime editor Sandra Ruttan was starting a new crime-fiction publication called Toe Six Press. Today brought that periodical’s online debut, which features an “author snapshot” of Earl Javorsky (Down to No Good), a couple of book reviews, and a good-size interview with UK novelist Stuart MacBride. Also being offered are links to crime fiction-related stories found elsewhere on the Web and to posts in Palomino Mugging, a pop-culture blog written by Ruttan’s husband, Brian Lindenmuth.

What might the future bring for Toe Six Press? Ruttan says that “While there may be times that posts are made throughout the week, the current plan is to produce at least two online issues per month. At this time, the focus will be on author interviews and author features, as well as reviews.” Best of luck with this new venture!
