When I caught up with author Nick Griffin at the advance party for his new novel, Dizzy City (coming late this summer from Steerforth Press), he was chatting with Penguin editor-in-chief Stephen Morrison…building up buzz for the paperback rights, perhaps? (Not that I need much convincing; I’m always up for another story about “the big con,” especially one set in the golden age of the fleece.) Meanwhile, Griffin’s agent, Stephanie Cabot of The Gernert Company, enjoys the rooftop setting at the Library Hotel bar with another of her authors, Alexandra Potter.
