I review because I think we need serious, powerful reviews to help promote mystery and suspense writers. So when I received Stephen Hamilton's really great thank-you, I was thrilled. It's great to have my review appreciated.
Interested in the review? It's at http://www.buzzardbone.blogspot.com/.
Enjoy,
Mary

I’m often asked a simple question: What is NoirCon?
The answer isn’t so simple.
Noir tells the stories of tortured souls—losers, psychopaths, obsessives—driven down deadly paths, following desperate plans that are doomed to failure.
Fans of Noir are drawn to these stories. And every two years, NoirCon draws these fans to Philadelphia for a weekend devoted to examining some of the darkest—most noirish—aspects of…

Giovanni Gelati, blog talk radio star and co-collaborator once asked my husband, fellow author Cody Toye, if he lived in fear of waking up with me standing over him with a butcher knife in my hand. While I can indeed shoot razor sharp darts at him with the look that is perfected over time with every married woman, I’m sure Mrs. Gelati can vouch for this; I have never caused him physical harm. I have ways of making him attest to this point, mwahaha.
How is…

I spent four years on active duty as a Marine and twenty-six years as a street agent for the FBI. In retirement I’ve penned three books and have written for television. I’ve met Medal of Honor recipients and the Commandant of the Marine Corps, award-winning actors and Hall of Fame athletes, politicians and…

Why serial killers?
I’ve been asked this question many times about my thrillers. Why write about serial killers? The very words “serial killer” scares me. It conjures up images of a madman wielding an ax coming after me in the dead of night and help is nowhere to be found. Or, running out of gas on a deserted country road and the nearest town is twenty miles away and there’s no signal for my cell phone…
Seriously,…

Hey, how is it going? What is my issue? What is the source of my angst? Why am I really royally ticked off right now? I have a few issues with the state of “Traditional Publishing”, or as some refer to them “The Big Six”. Let me expand and explain if you can follow along with me. As a blogger I am fortunate, and I mean this sincerely, to be contacted by authors, publicists, etc. to review novels. I am happy to do this, because let’s face it, it is fun and who doesn’t like a good…

Here's a few things to keep on the lookout when reading or writing a crime novel...
Not all crime and violent acts are committed by psychopathic offenders. Individuals with a variety of mental disorders and addictions commit even some of the most unspeakable crimes in our society today.
One of the biggest challenges facing our criminal justice system is incarcerating violent offenders with substance addictions, personality disorders (including psychopaths),…
