Many thanks to Lawrence Block for including me in his new anthology COLLECTIBLES, which just got a great review from Publishers Weekly. "Villainy, paranormal goings-on, and cold-blooded murder turn up time and again, with varying degrees of success, in this mixed bag of a theme anthology centered on compulsive collectors, compiled by MWA Grand Master Block. Standouts include Dennis Lehane's gilt-edged chiller, A Bostonian (in Cambridge), in which a wealthy collector of let...ters of abandonment falls prey to wily blackmailers, and Joe Lansdale’s The Skull Collector, a gangster yarn featuring gun-toting female grave robbers. Other stories, like David Rachel’s Devil Sent the Rain Blues, in which greed, paranoia, and excitement hinder a trader’s attempts to acquire an extremely rare 78 rpm record, seem tame by comparison. Overshadowing everything, though, is Lee Goldberg’s Lost Shows, a delightful shocker about a fanatical collector of short-lived and unaired TV shows who has turned his Hollywood home into a mausoleum of lost dreams. Extracts from Otto Penzler’s memoir, Mysterious Obsession, add some real-life perspective on book collecting. Not every entry from the 17 contributors is a winner, but this volume offers enough superior material to make it worth the reader’s while." https://www.publishersweekly.com/9781645240457

Here's an interview with the *other* Lee Goldberg (Lee Matthew Goldberg) who writes thrillers (no relation, btw) http://www.writeratplay.com//interview-with-lee-matthew-g/

My friend Harlan Coben says: Every book I write, I still say, each time, ‘This book sucks & the one I did before was great. How did I lose it?’" I'm so glad I am not alone in my insecurities. https://www.nytimes.com//03/10/books/harlan-coben-win.html

Many thanks to Dick Lochte for including my novel LOST HILLS, read by Nicol Zanzarella, among his five favorite audio books of 2020 in this month's issue of Mystery Scene Magazine. ""[A] brisk, character-driven police procedural...good fun, marked by smart plotting and sharp dialogue, winningly narrated by Nicol Zanzarella."

Thank you to Kevin Burton Smith for including Ralph Dennis' ALL KINDS OF UGLY, his long-lost final HARDMAN novel, among his favorite books of 2020 in this month's issue of Mystery Scene Magazine. "Lee Goldberg and Brash Books get two thumbs up for resurrecting the bits and pieces of a long-lost manuscript and finally giving Ralph Dennis' much-loved Jim Hardman the send-off he deserves. UGLY is some kind of beauty: a pure distillation of Grade-A Hard-Boiled Pulp that dares to reach for more."

This time last year, my publishing company Brash Books released the long-lost final HARDMAN novel by Ralph Dennis. To mark the occasion, here I am wearing a t-shirt from George's, the restaurant/bar where Ralph Dennis wrote (and frequently set) most of his novels, and holding our new edition of the first HARDMAN novel

ESSAY: A year ago, I discovered, revised & published Ralph Dennis' long-lost final HARDMAN novel ALL KINDS OF UGLY. Here's the story behind it. https://crimereads.com/an-enduring-passion-for-a-1970s-cri/
