Dirty Sweet

[nugs]

Hi,

I've been lurking here for a while and wanted to say hello and thanks. The discussions are often quite interesting and very funny. And, well, honestly, I want to let everyone know about a novel I wrote that is now in stores.

The novel is called Dirty Sweet and it's a crime story set in Toronto. The National Post and Toronto Star both gave it very positive reviews, even comparing it favourably to Elmore Leonard - which is a pretty big deal in the crime fiction biz.

Anyway, from the talk here, I thought some people here might be interested. The Globe and Mail did say that in the book, "Toronto has never looked seedier," which made me laugh because only the Globe could find such normal stuff 'seedy.'

You can get more info at:

The book is available at Chapters and Indigo and Book City and Sleuth of Baker Street on Bayview and Amazon.ca, but they seem to be sold out.

Okay, thanks again. Now back to lurking.

I thought it was about dropping candy in the toilet, then continuing to eat it anyway

No those are the originals behind Hersheys Kisses.

No, no, sorry about that, it's supposed to mean the opposite. I don't think my book is seedy, and I don't think anything that goes on here is seedy - I thought only something like the Globe and Mail would.

I just thought, after seeing the kinds of movies and music discussed here, that some people might be interested in the book.

I wonder if anyone's first post ever goes the way they expect it to?

I thought it was a T Rex reference ...

"Dirty Sweet" is a line from Bang A Gong (Get It On) by T Rex.
