NY Times Bestselling Author
puts mystery fiction into a
major stamp magazine!

 

Lawrence Block, who will appear at the American Philatelic Society's Hartford, Conn. StampShow in August, writes fiction about a philatelist who doubles as a hitman.

Keller is the character in Lawrence Block's fiction who pursues his stamp collecting habits and pays for them by coming out of retirement as a professional hitman. An odd twist in mystery fiction, but with wry wit and a huge imagination, Block pulls it off with style.
His latest short story, Quotidian Keller, will appear in the July/August issue of The American Stamp Dealer & Collector magazine.
The magazine is fast becoming a huge success because of its "new take" on the world of stamp collecting. Not only does it feature lots of news and articles about stamps, but also a wide variety of coverage about the people of the hobby.
Not only that, but by publishing Lawrence Block's unusual short stories, ASD&C becomes the first stamp magazine in over 70 years to publish popular fiction.
