I sat in last night to hear John Jackson Miller talk about his new Batman novel (on sale in a few days), and what it's like to write for Star Wars, Star Trek, and Indiana Jones franchises as well. He drops lots of cool info.

Sure I can order these off Amazon, but I get thrill out of prowling book shelves and throwing some money at an indie bookstore, in this case, the Strand. I'm already several chapters in on the Hammett and love it.
