Earlier today, I had a fun conversation with authors Nikki Guerlain, Gary Arthur Brown, J W Wargo, and others. We pondered those movie rental recommendation signs. You know, the shelf-talking cards reading "If you enjoyed [movie], you'll also like [other movies]." Netflix and Amazon have built empires on technology exploiting this idea. But while movies leading you to other movies is run of the mill, Nikki wondered if the same tactic could be used as a crossover for books.

I thought this was a stellar idea. I made a list of some of the movies that were essential influences on my writing Chick Bassist . So here it is. May I present my own Cinematic Shelf Talker. If you dig this (and I'll only know if you comment), I may also do one to go with The Book of Cthulhu .

If you enjoyed the following films...









...you're gonna freakin' love this book...
