Long time readers of this blog know that I am a fan of US crime writer
George Pelecanos. I have been since my wife (then girlfriend) bought me one of his novels back in 2006. Well, it struck me recently that he hasn't published anything since
The Man Who Came Uptown in 2018. I read it in early 2020, enjoyed it tremendously and waited for his next book. And waited. And waited. Because Pelecanos hasn't published anything since then. His webpage does not say anything about any new publication and doesn't seem to have been updated in a while. He might be busy on Tv projects, but I do hope he will write more crime novels, because I miss his work.
wikipedia says: "He is currently developing a series based on his Derek Strange character for HBO. The first season will be based on the Derek Strange novel Hard Revolution. More recently, he signed an overall deal with HBO." I'm sure there's much more money to be made in working for HBO than in publishing these days.
