So, yeah, we were a little ambitious when we started this blog thing, claiming that we'd have "weekly invertebrates" and all. It's now been 7 weeks since the last post and 10 since the last invertebrate. And we still don't have another invertebrate ready. I suppose we will rechristen them "Quarterly Invertebrates" or "Trimesterly Invertebrates" according to when we get back into it.
Been busy. Had a good trip to Delhi for the World Book Fair, where the Daylight Robbery launch went off well, and to Bombay for Kala Ghoda, where we did a couple of other events. In the process we managed to get India's crime fiction king Surender Mohan Pathak a flurry of English-language press writeups: see here and here and here and here. There were a couple of Hindi newspaper writeups as well but I'm not sure if they're online.
Also been hard at work finishing up The Blaft Anthology Tamil Pulp Fiction Vol. 2, which will go to print this week and should be on bookshelves in India in April. Here's the cover (thanks to Shyam and Malavika.PC.):
