same wound. wow. that's up close and personal. like how method actors work with their own private pain. i studied acting several centuries ago and i remember that. i find that i method write. i feel, or try to feel, each character. from the good guys to the serial killers. it makes it come alive for me, now if i can make it come alive for a publisher...that's really what i'd want!

Thanks for the list of authors & titles...just in time for August reading. Stephen, *Zombie Noir* sounds especially seductive.<br />
<br />
Any published women writers to add to the genre? Or female protags?

In a word, yes. I love both genres, and thrillers as well. Generally try to blur the lines when I write, because for me they all come from the same wound.

I try never to use anything a patient tells me. However based on how bizarre their lives are I can get a great handle on pacing and plotting and character development that is far more believable than their lives. Bruce Forester Good luck in your writings

I love horror. I love crime, and I blend the two in my own writing, which some have called "paranormal thrillers" and others have labeled as "dark urban fantasy." (I prefer the latter, but that's just me.) Labels aside, I blend vampires, cops, and forensic science into my books because that's just what I love to write.<br />
<br />
As for other authors, Jim Butcher's DRESDEN FILES have already been mentioned, but you could check out the early Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton. GUILTY PLEASURES…

GUILTY PLEASURES through OBSIDIAN BUTTERFLY are the best, IMHO. I also like the BLOOD series by Tanya Huff and the RACHEL MORGAN series by Kim Harrison, although Kim's a little on the lighter side with a good amount of humor added to the mix.<br />

I wouldn't necessarily label my books crime/horror, but one reviewer of KISS HER GOODBYE certainly did. Another reviewer called it a metaphysical journey, and I think that's more accurate, since it involves questions about the near death experience.<br />
<br />
I just think of them as thrillers. And with thrillers -- as far as I'm concerned -- anything goes.<br />
