What can you say about Todd Robinson? If you don't know his writing, do yourself a favor and get a copy of his debut novel, THE HARD BOUNCE. Booklist says it's packed "with a host of imaginatively drawn thugs, villains, victims, and rascals" and Pop Culture Nerd called it "simple perfection." I say it's fantastic. And Todd's next novel, ROUGH TRADE, will be released by Polis Books in 2016. Todd has also written plenty of short stories. You can find them in anthologies like TROUBLE IN THE HEARTLAND, BLOOD & TACOS, and DANGER CITY. Or, better yet, in his very own collection of short stories called DIRTY WORDS. On top of all that, Todd Robinson edits one of the best magazines around: THUGLIT. I was fortunate enough to have a story published in issue #16 of THUGLIT, so if you're not familiar with THUGLIT, start with #16.
