What books are currently on your nightstand?
Doing battle with my TBR skyscraper is a never-ending process, so there’s always something interesting lurking around vying for attention. I just finished Bite Harder by Anonymous-9 (aka Elaine Ash), and the next few I have earmarked are Rumrunners by Eric Beetner, Things Half in Shadow by Alan Finn (aka Todd Ritter), and The Killing Kind by Chris Holm.
Who is your all-time favorite novelist?
That’s a tough one, because there are so many authors who’ve written books that have stuck with me for one reason or another. I suppose if I go by a combination of who I both own the most books by and find endlessly re-readable, I’d have to go with Robert Crais. Really looking forward to his new one, The Promise, later this year.
What book might we be surprised to find on your shelves?
Well, I guess most people who know me probably associate my reviews and editing with crime fiction and noir, so I guess some would be surprised to learn I have a very healthy Young Adult collection, most of it in the fantasy genre such as Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl.
Who is your favorite fictional character?
That’d be a tossup between Snape from the Harry Potter series and Joe Pike from the Elvis Cole series—both bad boys with checkered pasts who desperately want to do the right thing…even if they sometimes go about it the wrong way.
What book do you return to?
There are a few I find myself rereading periodically: Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card, A Midnight Clear by William Wharton, LA Requiem by Robert Crais, and Watership Down by Richard Adams leap immediately to mind.

It is so great to see another fan of William Wharton here.
Big fan of Harry Potter myself
In my view, Elizabeth A. White is an angel sent to mystery writers. You can quote me on that. Elaine Ash/Anonymous-9
Yes, Watership Down. Each time I read it (3 times now) I get more out of it.
Love, love, love those shelves! Books do furnish a room.
Elaine - I must admit that after reading the comparison of your books to Tim Dorsey and Carl Hiaasen you have definitely piqued my interest.

Thanks for having me on the feature, Patti. And thanks for the nice comments, everyone else. :-)

Can you offer a translation of that, Elizabeth. Been trying to decode it all week.
It's the keyboard version of the rock 'n' roll "devil horns" sign. And my smiley has its tongue sticking out, like Gene Simmons of KISS.
