But one that might put a smile on your face. Head on over to Powderburn Flash, and check out my story, “The Wrong Bags.” It came about due to an amalgam of influences: the work of James Ellroy, that old Michelle Pfeiffer / Matthew Modine movie, “Married to the Mob”, and Mob-speak, in general.

By Ray Pride One of my favorite new words I learned recently was Icelandic: “Kreppa.” Depression, collapse crisis, whatever: the crunchy onomatopoeia of “kreppa” struck Reykjavik last year.

Bei Vorablesen.de habe ich schon einmal eine Leseprobe erhalten, die sich richtig spannend entwickelte.
