New site, new blog, new newb

New blog, new site, new ... everything

Did you know I have a new blog? A whole new *site* in fact? Yes, I still collect books, but I've been focusing more effort on writing, and if you'd like to stay in touch with me, explore and celebrate books, and especially if you're into mystery novels, then be sure you follow me over at my new site, benjaminlclark.com.

I regularly review books, talk about my work as a history museum curator, and of course, good mysteries.

From there, of course, you can sign up for my newsletter (launching soon), my facebook group (currently private, but send a request and I'll add you!), and pretty much whatever social media platform you like (I'm on most of them).

About the Author: Benjamin L. Clark writes historical mysteries and works as a history museum curator.

Christmas List 2016 started

It’s not secret, 

I really enjoyed the Blake & Avery series of historic thrillers by historian M.J. Carter last year. And my (not so) idle curiosity went ahead and tweeted the author herself when one could expect Blake & Avery 3 ----- 

It wasn’t entirely presumptuous on my part she was working on it, she’s tweeted before that the manuscript was underway.  

So, this is what I learned:

So, there we have it.  It will hopefully be a later 2016 release, and not need to be put off further still.  Until then, I hope M.J. Carter feels better!

Ralph Ellison speaks.

I was catching up on some podcast listening this week, and heard the folks at Bookrageous talk about "one hit wonder" authors.  One of my favorites is Ralph Ellison.  A fascinating interview with Ralph Ellison has been digitized from the archives of my old work place, the Oklahoma Historical Society, and as of this writing has about 10 views. Thanks OHS for making this available to everyone to see.

You can browse Ralph Ellison's personal library on Library Thing's Legacy Library project.
