About Me |
|
| I'm a suspense author. My books include the Edgar-nominated HIDE YOUR EYES and YOU KILL ME, and my first hardcover, TRASHED is out NOW on NAL/Obsidian. (I'm very excited about it.) It's about a reluctant supermarket tabloid reporter who uncovers a grisly series of Hollywood murders. Publisher's Weekly called it "TREMENDOUS FUN," and Library Journal said it was "ACTION-PACKED," and the Chicago Sun-Times referred to it as a "FUN AND JUICY READ" and the Cleveland Plain-Dealer called it "CAUSTICALLY HILARIOUS" and a bunch of other people said nice things about it too. It looked really annoying when I put all the quotes from everybody in this section, because I couldn't figure out how to separate them. But they'll be on my website soon, and trust me, they're good. HERE'S SOME NEWS: TRASHED will be OUT IN PAPERBACK in August (Smaller! Cheaper! But just as much book!) and will include a teaser for my next book, HEARTLESS, which is due out in September! Yes, September, 2008. How excited am I about that? So excited, I can hardly stand it... website: www.alisongaylin.com Oh, and I also blog at www.firstoffenders.typepad.com | |

|
Television:The Simpsons, American Idol, Spongebob (I have a six-year-old daughter, but I'd probably watch it anyway...) Curb Your Enthusiasm, Daily Show, Flight of the Conchords, Breaking Bad, lots I'm forgetting I'm sure. |
|
Books:I read anything and everything except for all-male erotica and technical manuals. Okay, I'm lying... but it has to be really good all-male erotica. |

TRASHED is flying high! |
|
| I'm not usually one to post my positive reviews. That's not modesty so much as laziness -- posting good reviews would require finding them all first, then either typing them out or copying links... Ke... Posted by Alison Gaylin on Tue, 02 Oct 2007 10:48:00 PST |
