Since I'm the Thursday writer, I invariably get the Thanksgiving post few people in the States read. So I'm going to go brief and give you the things I'm thankful for this year . . .
-My wife. She's supportive of my writing habit, smiles, and loves me.
-My family. Same reason.
-My agent. I don't think Al enough. He is a great source of advice, help, counseling, and really believes in my work.
-Having the time to write. Without it, I wouldn't be on this blog.
-The DSD crew. A really great group of guys, with a ton of energy and an endless source of ideas.
-You, the fans. Both of Do Some Damage and my own. Really thankful there are people out there who like what we're doing.
-Just being alive. Really underrated thing to be thankful for.
What are you guys thankful for?

Now that Secret Santa is Over
by Dave White
2010 awaits.
It's New Year's Eve, and you're all out buying Champagne and beer and making dinner reservations, so I'll keep this one short.
The '00s was a hell of a decade for crime fiction.
Dennis Lehane, George Pelecanos, James Ellroy, and Laura Lippman really showed me what the pinnacle of a mystery novel could be.
Hard Case Crime brought the pulps back and made them cool again.
Blogs were the place to find all sorts of discussions on any subgenre of the mystery.
DO SOME DAMAGE was born.
So for my this decade was fantastic. I've learned so much and can't wait to see what happens in the next ten years.
But the thing that never changes is what a book needs to be successful. Readers.
We here at Do Some Damage want to thank you for keeping up with our blog over the past few months. And we hope you'll stick around for the next few years.
This post is dedicated to you.
Happy New Year.
And, we have a question for you, dear reader. What do you want to see happen to crime fiction in the next decade? How can it change and what will make it better?
