Use of product brand names in mystery novels

There’s a thread going on over on 4MA that concerns the use of product names (and other authors' names) in a mystery novel. I’d like to give a few of my observations, but what I have to say could be construed by some to be BSP over there, though it’s not intended to be, so I’ll use this spot on Crimespace to say it. In my book Crown’s Law, the protag, P.I. Sam Crown, drives a red Camaro…

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.

At 2:35am on August 28, 2007, Robert Fate said…: Wolf - My email address is robert-fate@sbcglobal.net. I look forward to hearing from you. Bob

At 5:21am on July 27, 2007, Krystal Waters said…: Wow, I am so sorry... I think losing your child is probably worse than losing my twin. I look forward to reading your work and getting to know you. I wish the very best for you.

Come over to my page anytime =) Kris

If the publisher didn't want it, I'd post it on my website. I can't find your books on Amazon. Did you write them under an alias? Ciao, Wolf

At 4:04pm on July 4, 2007, Newt Love said…: I forgot to mention that Bob Randisi (along with Delphine Cingal) will eventually get credit for "discovering me," if I can ever get some traction. Bob's giving me jacket blurbs for my 2nd and 3rd novels, that are both PI stories. He would have given me one for my debut, but since it was modern day Lakhota Indian, my publisher declined the offer. Go figure! Hope to see you at a PIWA conference someday!

At 4:00pm on July 4, 2007, Newt Love said…: Wolf,
I am a bear, and live my walk on the Red Road like one. I know some great wolves. May I add another? As former cold warriors, our paths must have crossed. Salute!

At 6:29am on July 4, 2007, Robert Fate said…: Thanks for the invite, Wolf. Best of luck to you. Bob
