Great
ideas come from clever minds. Craig Sisterson is an inventive thoughtful
blogger. Since I became a blogger almost 7 years ago Craig instantly comes to mind when I
think of New Zealand crime fiction. His blog, Crime Watch at kiwicrime@blogspot.com, is a wonderful
resource for New Zealand crime fiction. I might be influenced because he trained
as a lawyer though he is not practising law.
On
behalf of the Ngaio Marsh Awards for New Zealand crime fiction he contacted me
a few weeks ago with a plan to promote the Awards around the world. He offered to
send me a book from the shortlists and I would provide a scheduled review as
part of a worldwide blog tour of reviews and/or interviews of the shortlists ant the authors.
I
was glad to participate and will be putting up my review of The Ice Shroud by Gordon Ell.
Craig’s
concept provides a grand exposure of New Zealand crime fiction. As with many
great ideas I wish I had thought of it.
Below
is a listing of the participants in the tour. I have started reading the daily
posts and intend to follow them around the world:
More information is available at Craig's blog or the Awards Facebook page - https://www.facebook.com/NgaioMarshAward/.
Great to hear you'll be part of this tour, Bill. I'll be very interested to get your thoughts on The Ice Shroud
ReplyDeleteMargot: Thanks for the comment. Only a couple of days and my review will be up.
ReplyDeleteYes it is a great idea Bill, I'm enjoying reading all the posts and will also be joining in in a few days.
ReplyDeleteBernadette: Thanks for the comment. Looking forward to your post.
DeleteHow lovely, now I can learn about more books from New Zealand if I can just remember to go check at these blogs. And get introduced to some new blogs too, although many of these I am familiar with already.
ReplyDeleteTracyK: Thanks for the comment. I was proud to be included in this group of bloggers.
