Want to write for Crooked?

A new outlet for short stories (the good kind, the criminally good kind) is on the way. CROOKED will be devoted strictly to crime fiction short stories that would make Hammett, Chandler and Macdonald proud. This will be web-only .PDF format. It will be non-paying but authors will be able to promote their novels, websites, etc. with relative ease.

Story Requirements:

• hardboiled, noir or something along those lines
• 2,000 words or more
• never published anywhere else

If interested, contact me: geoffeighinger@yahoo.com and/or head on over to CrookedWebZine.com.

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”

Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."

Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"

Book Synopsis:

The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.

Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.

The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.

Yeah, I've liked most of the stuff Yellow Mama puts out. There's a lot of cross genre stuff going on there, but it's diffidently worth a read. One of my stories got picked up for their June 2009 ish

Yeah, I'm a big ol rasslin' mark. Mostly Lucha Libre. If you haven't checked out my previous novel Hoodtown yet, you might like it. It's about a lady masked wrestler.

Good luck with Crooked.

Geoff,

I never have a problem with criticism. Personally, I think it's the only way to learn, and by no means edit yourself when writing reviews. So what if some what gets pissed off at you, they shouldn't be putting themselves out there otherwise. As far as submitting to Crooked, you can expect a story from me by the weekend, and I look forward to any feed back you provide. (That is if you have the chance to.)Oh, and by the way, diffidently give flash crime fiction more of a chance. The most of the stuff Aldo puts out on Powderburn Flash is awesome.

I like Joe Finder, too. For more good hard-boiled, try Harry Hunsicker.
