Erik D. Kiessling is the author of a thrilling urban fantasy called “Bury them at the Crossroads.” He promised me a review of Russian Roulette but got caught up in his own writing after reading it. On the second reading of my novel Erik decided to...

In BLOOD AND BONE - An eighteen-year-old boy lies dying of leukemia. Kyle's only hope is a bone marrow transplant, but no one in his wealthy Virginia family can safely supply it. His last chance lies in finding his father, a man who disappeared before he was born. Police and private investigators can find nothing on a trail eighteen years cold.
Kyle's family has nowhere to turn until they learn of a certain troubleshooter, a self-styled knight errant in dark glasses named Hannibal Jones. He has two weeks to find the missing man, but his search turns up much more: A woman who might be Kyle's illegitimate sister, the woman who could be her mother, and the man who may have killed Kyle's father.
Hannibal follows a twisting, winding path of deception, conspiracy and greed, from Washington to Mexico, pursuing the truth. But with each step closer to it he gets, the danger grows.

Another Cool Review
I like to share feedback I get on my novels. Today I want to introduce you to Grace Ramsey.
I never got to meet Grace, but her daughters found me at a book signing and bought her one of my novels as a birthday present. As it turns out, Grace has turned into a fan of my work.
Since she was kind enough to send an e-mail complimenting my books I've used her comments as this week's featured review on my web site - http://www.ascamacho.com . Thank you, Grace,… Continue

Happy Veterans Day
I’m sure you’ll read a lot this month from people expressing what they’re thankful for. Today I want to express my gratitude for those men and women who have guaranteed my right to write whatever I want. Free speech and a free press may be concepts in the Constitution, but they are only rights because they are preserved by our service members. As we all know, freedom is never free.

May I call you Austin?
I have been working away from my computer and out of town. Thank you for your friend request., I am honored. I am also going out to get your book, "BLOOD & BONE". It sounds like a book I will enjoy. That of course, will lead me to your other three.
Hope to have the honor of meeting you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Michael Phelps
(The WRITER . . . NOT the good looking-kid with all the Gold).
Forgive me if I remember this incorrectly, but wasn't THE TROUBLESHOOTER originally self-published? There's a current discussion here about the pros and cons of self-publishing you may be uniquely suited to participate in, were you so inclined.
I stopped by my local independent mystery bookstore today to pick up the latest John Sandford, and right there next to the register was a lonely, pristine copy of BLOOD AND BONE. No thanks to gas prices, I'm now budgeting for books more carefully than a year ago, but I swear that book was singing my name, softly but persistently. What other course was left open to this humane reader? I took the homeless book away with me. I showed it the shelf that eventually (post-reading) will become its permanent home. I won't go so far as to say the book smiled, but the pages sure did flutter.
