All Due Respect Issue #3

That's right--we've got another dose of goodness and badness for all the crime fiction people out there. ADR 3 one features one of my favorite authors, Jake Hinkson, whose has a new book from Crime Factory titled Saint Homicide. Plus fiction by Angel Luis Colon, Patti Abbott, Jessica Adams, Mike McCrary, Chris Leek, Rob Hart, Alec Cizak, and Jen Conley. And an interview with BEAT to a PULP publisher David Cranmer. And a whole bunch of reviews. --Chris Rhatigan

All Due Respect (The Anthology)

In 2010 the online crime fiction journal All Due Respect blasted its way across the internet leaving a trail of blood and mayhem. Written by some of the best up and coming authors on the crime fiction scene, the stories inside this volume will leave you breathless. A few of them may even make you sick to your stomach and then double check all your doors and windows before you go to sleep. These pages are filled with thugs, grifters, dope dealers, and killers who make no apologies about who they are or what they do. All Due Respect is about crime, not the solving of crime, not the bemoaning of crime, just the bad things that bad people do. So pull up a chair, grab a drink, and keep an eye on that guy in the corner as you read All Due Respect.

Open Roads and Freebirds and Other Links

Alec Cizak on the latest offering at All Due Respect:

For issue number three of ALL DUE RESPECT, JJ Kinni puts together a road story that fuses the wandering prose of Jack Kerouac with some nice elements of all-American debauchery we would expect to find in a Jim Thompson or James Ellroy novel. The result is "Open Roads and Freebirds," a story that moves from post-World War II alienation to the dawn of the free love movement in San Francisco.

Other links in my cyber travels: An interview with Sara Paretsky where Chandler is brought up in an unfavorable light | The Novelist Wars | Car crashes into Stephen King's Gate | and That Nameless Stranger, Half a Century Later.

Mr. Cizak's All Due Respect

Top writer and twice BEAT to a PULP contributor Alec Cizak says:

So I'm trying to start a crime fiction blog that features one writer about once a month. I'm kicking it off with myself with "Methamphetamine and a Shotgun," a story inspired by an old Chester Himes story.
