David, Tim, Brett
Had lunch at Farmer's Market yesterday with fellow LA writers
Tim Hallinan and
Brett Battles. Brett is a scarily prolific author with three (!) novels written in the last twelve months. I just finished his breathtakingly paced
THE SILENCED, the 4th book in his Jonathan Quinn series. Quinn is a professional "cleaner" whose job is to dispose of bodies and clean up loose ends after a hit. He's usually hired by the good guys (CIA, MI6) but then, of course, you're never really sure who the good guys are...
Tim Hallinan spends half his time in LA and half in Bangkok, where his acclaimed
Poke Rafferty series is set. Tim's latest novel,
The Queen of Patpong, was nominated for an Edgar as best novel of 2010 by Mystery Writers of America.
Tim is currently working on a novel about the God's Army guerrilla group in Burma, led by the legendary 12-year-old twins,
Johnny and Luther Htoo. I can't wait to read the book--just look at this amazing photo of the twins:
