Hi all

I'm just poking my toe in the waters of the e-reader communities round here. I'm a reviewer, writer and general crime fan from the UK. I used to run a full on ezine (crime scene scotland) that has now become an occasional review hub at www.crimescenescotland.com and my first two crime novels are available in the US from St Martins in both e and paper, and in the UK from Five Leaves Publications in lovely old paperback and are only now coming into e-format (the first one just hit UK Kindle and the second one should be coming soon).

What am I reading in e-format at the moment? Working my way through the old Shell Scott novels by Richard Prather (LA-based PI novels, very much of their time but with a deliciously insane energy) and digging Steve Hockensmith's very funny collection DEAR MR HOLMES, that finds two Holmes obsessed cowboys trying to emulate their hero.

Anyway, just saying hello and look forward to see what are talking about round the forums.
