Bio
Kevin Howell
I highly recommend Richard Brewer. For more than 11 years, I was a reviews editor at PUBLISHERS WEEKLY and Richard was one of my most reliable writers/reviewers. With a weekly magazine, deadlines are supremely important and Richard was always dependable, not only to have his work in on time but to deliver such quality material that editing it was practically non-existent. Richard winning writing style is complimented by his broad range of interests and his eagerness to illuminate others.

In a world of big box bookstores, not only is it hard to find a good, independent bookstore...it's even harder to find knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and well-read employees who make the experience of shopping there (or, in my case, signing there) a memorable one. I've known Richard as both a customer and as an author and he was a big part of what made (and makes) the Mystery Bookstore a beloved, Los Angeles institution among the literati, glitterati, and me.
