I'm a writer, publishing both as SJ Rozan and, with Carlos Dews, as Sam Cabot. (I'm Sam, he's Cabot.) Here you can find links to my almost-daily blog posts, including the Saturday haiku I've been doing for years. BUT the blog itself has moved to my website. If you go on over there you can subscribe and you'll never miss a post. (Miss a post! A scary thought!) Also, I'll be teaching a writing workshop in Italy this summer -- come join us!

Having my way with the plot
This from Virginia Heffernan's new column in today's Sunday New York Times Magazine:
"This Week’s Recommendations: This is Thriller: Audio installments of The Chopin Manuscript — a major-league game of exquisite corpse —have been hypnotizing downloaders since Alfred Molina performed Jeffrey Deaver’s first chapter. S. J. Rozan and David Hewson have had their ways with the plot, and Jim Fusilli further thickens the intrigue in the latest chapter, available Tuesday on audible.com."
CHOPIN MANUSCRIPT is in audio format only, so far, and is exactly what you think -- a thriller in which each of us got the chapters preceding our own, wrote on, and sent on. No outline, no pre-writing group brainstorming. Came out pretty well, too, making one wonder why one ever thinks ahead...
It's also, by the way, been brought to my attention that some of you don't yet own a copy of BRONX NOIR. Since, as one of the contributors said to me, everyone is either from the Bronx or wishes they were, there's no one this book wouldn't make a great gift for. Including yourself. Nineteen dark stories (well, okay, some of them are funny, but they're dark, too) set in the Bronx -- how can you not love it?
