Hometown:: Newburgh, Indiana
About Me:: I am the author of the Indianapolis based, Colton Parker Mystery series that features hardboiled PI Colton Parker.

Brandt, let me add my enthusiastic "Here, here!" to your blog about supporting independent mystery bookstores. In fact, ALL independent stores. I'm blessed to have signed at Reed's Gumtree Bookstore here in Tupelo, one of only four bookstores that would host John Grisham when he started out. (And where Grisham still comes to sign books every year.)

Hi Brandt, I recognized your picture from one that I saw in the Mystery Company's newsletter (led me to your website--nice) a month or two ago Didn't realize you were a member here too until just now. Just thought I'd say hi. :)
