PT showed me my gait improves that much with this rollator, too. It would prevent falls, allow me to leave the house/exercise, and access my community. Lightweight for my aortic aneurysm!

Thank you so much, Julie! 😍

Book Cover: The Sea-Glass Shore Back when I learned that Forest Avenue Press had acquired a novel about a selkie, I had a quick vision of designing a cover that would depic...

a year in the life of a book 2025 was a hard year in so many ways for so many of us. It feels maybe gratuitous and self-important to want to fill a blog post with remini...

It's cover reveal day for Felan's Fables by Jamie Yourdon, with art by Graham Francoise. Out in spring. I wrote a bit about the process on my blog here: utomniabene.blogspot.com/2025/12/book... #coverreveal #fables #bookdesign

Ding! Every time you give my book to someone, an angel gets its wings. #whokilledonethegun #noir #oldtimeradio #books #shamelessselfpromotion

Books make great holiday gifts! Even if you don't select mine, please consider giving books - and in particular small press books - this season, because it's as much a gift to the author and the publisher as it is to the receiver. #forestavenuepress #whokilledonethegun #noir #cozynoir #oldtimeradio

Oh no! I hope you get through it quickly.

I'm thankful for loads of things, but I wanted to say thank you in particular, this year, to all the people who have supported or bought or read or reviewed or encouraged my book. You mean the world to me.

Thank you so much for this thoughtful review, Joan.

An Influence on my Novel: Murder My Sweet It's getting around to holiday card season again. Yes, we still do holiday cards in this little two-person family, and my ritual for some re...

If you'd like a peek into that, and into one of my favorite movies, the link is here: utomniabene.blogspot.com/2025/11/an-i...

At the Broadway Books event for my novel, when @shawnlevy.com told me he pictured my character Four the Door as played by the classic film actor Mike Mazurki, it got me thinking about the ways the film Murder, My Sweet had influenced my book. So I put together a post about it....

...You can’t help but root for the brooding antihero, a tragically flawed gumshoe chasing a cold killer and an ocean-eyed dame. Who Killed One the Gun? pops off its pages like a sizzling band of hard-boiled bullets chasing a runaway jazz train.”

His beautifully written blurb of my book (in two parts): “Gigi Little has written a boozy love letter to a bygone era of noir detective radio plays. It’s Perry Mason meets Groundhog Day. A slick ticking time machine of a whodunit...

David also has a quirky wordplay-filled love story in The Untold Gaze and a wistful, sexy essay in the award-winning anthology Portland Queer. And he’s a wonderful writing teacher and an all-around lovely guy. I’m so glad to know him.

The Queen of Steeplechase Park is a love letter to Coney Island in the thirties, to Italian Americans, and to Italian cooking. It is sumptuous and gorgeous and over the top in the very best way. Starred review in Kirkus:

When I was considering pitching my novel to Forest Avenue Press, David’s book was one of the reasons I felt certain that my book, too, was a Forest Avenue Press book. I felt like our novels were cousins of sorts, both very voice-driven, both love letters to a piece of American history...

The next person I’d like to thank for his lovely blurb of my book is David Ciminello...

Who Killed One the Gun - Books to the Ceiling: The Author Blog of Teresa Trent Who Killed One the Gun, a cozy noir mystery by Gigi Little is featured on Books to the Ceiling.

I'm having coffee and listening to the opening of my book being read on the Books to the Ceiling podcast. It's surreal to listen to someone I don't know reading it aloud. And giving it her own noir-y twist! Thank you to Teresa Trent and Books to the Ceiling. If you'd like to listen: wp.me/pnaIT-dpu

Thank you, Daniel. So glad your book has done so well and keeps finding new ways to be seen in the world.

So cool that Daniel A. Olivas's awesome Chicano Frankenstein is on this list of 15 Frankenstein Retellings in Town and Country Magazine! And selfishly I'm excited that my cover is one of the four they used in their graphic to crown the article.
