I would like to do things a bit out of order here. Usually I would say some nice stuff about the novel right away, but I would instead prefer to give that space today to the author. The Thieves of Darkness is my second Richard Doestsch read and I am
really enjoying his writing style. He has penned four novels to date and is
currently working on his fifth. The novels he has out are: The Thieves Of Heaven, The
Thieves…

Recipe for Writing a Great Thriller: Ten Key Ingredients
1) Start with the big “what if.” Any great story starts with that simple “what if” question. What if a series of high-profile executives in the managed care
industry are serially murdered? (Michael Palmer’s The Society) What if a multimillion dollar…

The Crime Writers Association of Great Britain (CWA) of which I am a member has announced that it will again run two highly successful initiatives next year, which were first introduced this year.
National Crime Writing Week, formerly National Crime Fiction Week, will run between June 13 and 19, 2011. The name change is designed to encompass both non-fiction and fiction and the nationwide celebration of crime writing…

To say I am a fan of these novels is an understatement. I just love the writing style of Jeff Lindsay and am just amazed at the characters he has created with this story. The entire experience for me, from
front cover to the back of the novel, just flat out rocks. The cover is eye
catching and very colorful, for someone as simple minded as me this is a plus.
I can watch a fire or an aquarium for hours; this is almost as good.…

You may flog me now. This is actually the first time I have read C.J. Box and his hero Joe Pickett. I have no excuses why it took me so long to read my first one, only regrets that I have not been involved as a
reader sooner. Maybe I am not the only the one out there that hasn’t read the
fine works of C.J. Box. If that is the case then let it be known to the uninitiated
that he has won numerous awards: The Edgar, Anthony, Macavity, Gumshoe, and
Barry…

Wednesday- C.J. Box up first and then later in the day, a guest post by Dean DeLuke.
Thursday- Richard Doestsch’s latest…

I finally got to look at Sunday’s newspaper and this novel is sitting atop the New York Times Bestseller List, number one. James Patterson teaming up with Liza Marklund is a stroke of genius and this novel flat out rocks from beginning to end. The
story line goes as follows: ”NYPD detective Jacob Kanon is on a tour of
Europe’s most gorgeous cities. But the sights aren’t what draw him- he sees
each museum, each cathedral, and each café through the eyes of his…

I find that I like doing interviews. The only one that was uncomfortable was the very first one, where the interviewer was working for the local newspaper and inisted on coming to my house. My first thought was: what will he think of my house? Maybe I'd better clean, rearrange the furniture, cover the coffee table with impressive books, give the dog a bath, make coffee . . . What do interviewers eat? Do I need to buy a new outfit and get my hair done? By the time the man showed up, I was a…

Ok, I've begun!
Got going a month or so ago. Got past the blockade at Chapter 20, which lasted for five years, and am now making good progress on Chapter 23.
Is this thing as good as I once thought it would be? I don't know, probably not. But it is very, very important for me that I finish it. No matter what happens beyond that, I have to finish it and edit it into a real MS.
Feels good.
