 Deadline has reported that Amazon Studios has ordered a pilot of Michael Connelly‘s Harry Bosch series. Bosch is a homicide cop that served in Vietnam as a tunnel rat. That background plays a role in the first novel, BLACK ECHO. Bosch was orphaned at an early age when his mother, a prostitute, was murdered. Bosch has an unwavering sense of right and wrong and often clashes with authority. While it has not said, I am betting they will move things forward, with Bosch being a vet of Iraq instead of Vietnam. Connelly is working with and Eric Overmyer (TREME, LAW & ORDER), with the two of them acting as Exec Producers and writers of...

This is so far our longest interview in Lego. Jen picked out her minifigure on her last visit to castle Crimespree and also requested a monkey be present. Being a good editor I didn’t question the monkey. (This is good life advice, “Don’t question the monkey) Hilary is one of our favorites and she also picked out her own minifigure, opting for the Black Widow from the awesome Lego Avengers set. Please not that while Lego Hilary is getting ready to fly a plane at the end we have no confirmation on “real” Hilary being able to fly a plane. (To see pictures larger, right click and hit view image) and here we...

It started for me with The Silence of the Lambs. Perhaps because I was at the prime age for abduction at the time, that book and film profoundly affected me. Before then, I hadn’t realized the true possibilities of depravity. Sure, I knew people went missing. I knew about rapes, assaults and murders, even grisly ones with naked bodies left in ditches. But The Silence of the Lambs was an entirely different order of horror. To this day, my brain is imprinted with the images of that basement pit, that bathtub, that sewing pattern. It didn’t help when I discovered that Harris’s book was based on actual serial killers: Ed Gein, Ted Bundy, and...

Odds are I’ll end up a crazy cat lady. Though I love animals of all kinds, I’ve always had a special bond with cats, since I was a very small child. I’m not sure when it started, probably shortly after I was born. My mom is a cat lover too, so there was always a cat around, and for whatever reason, even as a little kid I had a sense of how you interacted with one—let them come to you first, sniff you out, see how they react, before you start messing with them too much. They fit with my slightly introverted nature, I guess. What’s certain is that when I was a little kid, I was more interested in cats than in most humans. I started my first...
