Since I am between novels, teaching, and editing-a span that lasts about a week-I figure this is a great chance to keep my chops up. I was asked by Janet Rudolph-or to avoid the dreaded passive voice, Janet Rudolph asked me-to write a piece about my tattoo for her Mystery Fanfare blog. He is the author of several books, including Junkie Love, Lamentation, and December Boys, as well as editor of Trouble in the Heartland: Crime Stories Inspired by the Songs of Bruce Springsteen. Joe Clifford is acquisitions editor for Gutter Books and producer of Lip Service West, a “gritty, real, raw” reading series in Oakland, CA. Joe Clifford has an amazing sleeve, as well as other individual tattoos. I abstained, but have a look at yesterday's post on the Tattoos of Bouchercon. Three of my close friends had tattoos done while there. Maybe it was the heat, maybe it was the city, but it seemed to me that writers and readers were sporting more tattoos than I remembered from past years. This year's Bouchercon, the world mystery convention, was held in New Orleans last week.
