Those fellas at Crime Factory have been busy, after their lauch earlier this year of their The First Shift anthology. It was a fun night and I’m heading over for the launch of their next all-Oz crime shorts anthology (although I’m stretching the definition of short with my own piece) on monday night, 8 Oct. Details of the launch party and anthology can be found here –   http://www.thecrimefactory.com/2012/09/crime-factory-publications-return… and FB – http://www.facebook.com/events/510874548926676/permalink/520343687979762/ 

It looks like a great anthology with new stories by Angela Savage, Leigh Redhead, Peter Corris and Gary Disher, amongst others. One story I’m looking forward to reading is fellow WA writer Greig Johnston’s piece. He’s got a sharp eye and a clear style. If you’re in Melbourne on October 8 head on down to Grumpy’s Green in Collingwood to pick up a copy of what looks like a great survey of what’s happening in contemporary Oz crime fiction…
