Best way to pass the time in college

Sitting on Harlan's website wondering how on earth I missed so much information!


Before I begin: Phil Vasser because it's oh-so Myron (http://www.lyricscafe.com/v/vassar_phil/vassar02.html for instance) Norris - I'll show you what I mean when I next subject you to my music collection!

- No Second Chance was originally called 'Left for Dead'. I'll now have to re-read it to see why it was changed. I know why, but I want to find all those irritating references that aggravate like grit under a contact lense

- John Calley has signed on to produce a feature film adaptation of Harlan’s mystery thriller, Deal Breaker, for Columbia Pictures. In addition, Columbia has optioned the rights to the entire series of Myron Bolitar Mysteries to which Deal Breaker belongs.
THEY'RE BRINGING MYRON TO THE BIG SCREEN!!!!! *dies*

- Just one Look is a SUNDAY TIMES bestseller

- Gone For Good and Tell No One both hit the , London Times and many national and international bestseller lists

- One book was, during production, entitled 'Big Tears Fall'. I'm bloody relieved that he changed it! I'm not yet sure which book it was :-/

- Previous publications and awards:-

Edgar Award Winner [Mystery Writers of America] for FADE AWAY
Shamus Award Winner [Private Eye Writers of America] for FADE AWAY
Anthony Award Winner [World Mystery Conference] for DEAL BREAKER
Barry Award Winner [Deadly Pleasures Magazine] for BACK SPIN

Dilys Award Nomination [Independent Mystery Booksellers] for FADE AWAY
Dilys Award Nomination for BACKSPIN

- "Myron lay sprawled next to a knee-knockingly gorgeous brunette clad only in a Class-B-felony bikini, a tropical drink sans umbrella in one hand, the aqua clear Caribbean water lapping at his feet, the sand a dazzling white powder, the sky a pure blue that could only be God's blank canvas, the sun as soothing and rich as a Swedish masseur with a snifter of cognac, and he was intensely miserable." See? I'm in the book!

That's enough for now, I have to edit a couple of interviews, print them off and figure out how to pass them off as my sociology coursework by one o'clock.. 0:-)
