First of State and CJ Floyd mystery series author Robert Greer featured in Herald-Tribune!
“Colorado-based writer Robert Greer moves seamlessly between literary fiction and genre fiction, focusing his genre work on mysteries and medical thrillers. His last “literary” effort, “Spoon,” won the Colorado Book Award for literary fiction, a gold medal for best regional fiction/west-mountain from the Independent Book Publishers Association and was a finalist for the SPUR Award for best western short novel and the High Plains Best Fiction Book Award –a lineup Greer describes as ‘almost as many honors as it could win in the West.’” Read full interview/feature here

“As a transgender Jew by choice, it’s not surprising that Noach Dzmura is interested in fringe Judaism. And given his prolific rĂ©sumĂ© (Dzmura was the 2006 winner of the S.F.-based Jewish Community Federation’s prestigious Haas-Koshland Memorial Award), it’s also not surprising that he is the editor of the newly published anthology, “Balancing on the Mechitza: Transgender in Jewish Community.” A mechitza is the barrier that separates men and women in Orthodox synagogues.” Read full article here
