First off: my apologies that the PDF release of Sand In My Gun is running late. I've been crazy as hell with deadlines. But worry not: just need to polish the intro a little, and then it'll be winging its way to your e-mail boxes by the end of the weekend. Thanks to everyone for being so patient.
UPDATE: These birds are flying. If you don't receive your Sand pdf by midnight tonight, drop me a line.
Meanwhile, I'm grateful for some very kind Expiration Date reviews that have popped up in the last week:
Michael Berry in the San Francisco Chronicle writes: "Swierczynski has to do some creative hand-waving about astral projection to keep the fantasy-mystery plot of Expiration Date moving like a well-maintained amusement park ride. Plausibility may not be the book's virtue, but Mickey's tour through his family's long-buried secrets is ultimately affecting, suspenseful and satisfying." (Guilty on on both charges. My SF is admittedly of the "makey-uppy" variety.)
Dave Richards (of Comic Book Resources fame) says that Expiration "is an immensely satisfying mystery and science fiction novel about one of the most mundane and important things in the world, family. I highly recommend it."
Andrew Byers over at Tales from the Bookworm's Lair says: "This is an outstanding example of modern noir, though, oddly, it’s also a time travel novel."
And finally, Vince Keenan (whose blog is a must read for noir and crime fiction junkies) writes: "There’s inventiveness on every page, but what makes the book work – I hate using this word, but it’s appropriate – is its heart."
Huge thanks for helping spread the word, guys.
