Some blips from BSC fav’s have appeared on the massive BSC radar screen that is fine tuned to for awesomeness.
First BSC fav is John McFetridge who tells us that shooting on The Bridge is winding down and gives us some release information for his next book and the entire first chapter of a current work in progress.
Swap will be out in Canada in September from ECW Press and in the USA from St. Martins in April, as Let It Ride.
I’m now working on the next one, which I’m hoping will be called Tumbling Dice in both countries.
Check out the first chapter of Tumbling Dice here.

David Corbett’s fourth novel, Do They Know I’m Running?, will be released by Mortalis in March 2010. We don’t know much about it except these couple of bits:
my upcoming book, Do They Know I’m Running?, is about immigration, specifically the attempt by three Salvadoran-American brothers to bring their father home to the US after he is arrested at a workplace raid and then deported to El Salvador.
Now, as I said, my upcoming book has to deal with immigration, and in particular, it’s something of a road trip through El Salvador and Guatemala and Mexico, and thus explores the problems facing those countries
Sounds good, can’t wait to read it. When I spoke briefly with David at Bouchercon in Baltimore he said that his WIP was giving him a hard time and was good naturedly grousing about a certain prolific author. I don’t know if it was Do They Know I’m Running? that he was talking about but I do know what I want for my birthday.
An excerpt recently appeared in Narrative Magazine (free registration is required).
Continuing with the hot shot double dose trend, over on Lee Lofland’s blog Corbett drops some fifth book info on us:
That said, I am venturing into PI territory with the book I am just beginning. (It will be my fifth; the fourth, Do They Know I’m Running?, comes out early in 2010.) I don’t want to spoil things, but Dan Abatangelo, the marijuana smuggler protagonist of The Devil’s Redhead, will appear as a stringer for a PI firm with connections to his sister’s law practice. I will return to Rio Mirada, the setting of my second novel, Done for a Dime, and deal with political corruption in both city hall and the public service unions.
