Just looking for some suggesitions for other Tart Noir authours to read. I've read all of Lauren's and Stella's books and most (if not all) of Val M's more tarty ones--and am finding myself longing for more.
Ooh, I love this question! get your hands on Tart Noir, the anthology, and use that as a sampler of writers whose books you might like. I'd give a rough list of:
I do have the anthology-I check out writes from there before--not sure why doing that escaped this time. I just went through 'girls night in' and although I did enjoy the reads--some of it was a bit to 'chick-lit'-y for (if that makes sense).
Thanks for reminding me to look through the Tart Noir book again-and for the PJ Tracy suggestion as well. Really cool that it's a mom and daughter writing together.
I wanted to say before, but forgot that yours, Stella's and another author (James Morrow) are the only books I always schlep with me through out my many moves (I move states and/or countries about every two years or less).
ah Shari, how nice of you to keep shlepping us!
I also really like Morag Joss - not so tarty perhaps, but brilliant on suspense and interior danger. and a really good writer too.
and check out our friend Serena Mackesy's latest couple as well.

I must try Morag Joss, then, Stell - never actually heard of her till now.
Shaari, it means more than I can say that you keep schlepping our books around! I have moved countries and continents and I know **** well what it means to love a book so much that you keep paying a lot of money to move its heavy weight from place to place, so I am hugely touched and flattered by you telling us that!
