The Red Hand of Crime

[realthog]

I mentioned a while back that editors Gerard Brennan (gerardbrennan) and Mike Stone (mylefteye) had accepted my "The Life Business" for their anthology of crime stories rooted in Irish mythology, The Red Hand of Crime, to be published by Morrigan next year. Well, I heard this morning from Mike that the list of contributors has now been released into the public sphere, and here it is:

Adrian McKinty
Arlene Hunt
Brian McGilloway
Dave Hutchinson
Garbhan Downey
Garry Kilworth
John Grant
John McAllister
Ken Bruen
Maxim Jakubowski
Neville Thompson
Sam Millar
Stuart Neville
T.A. Moore
Tony Bailie
Tony Black
Una McCormack

Needless to say, I'm chuffed as all get-out to find myself in such distinguished company. The only disadvantage of such a situation is, of course, that all the reviews will say, "This otherwise brilliant book is marred by one true stinker of a story . . ."
