Deacon Pete posted this 5-star review of The Troubleshooter on Amazon: "Fast paced, lots of action, plenty of violence (for those who are looking for that), and a nice little romance cooking in the background. That's right, Hannibal Jones gets the pretty and smart girl in the end. Lots of gritty action scenes that are actually pretty well done. Hannibal gets beat up on a regular basis.…

You probably have seen an episode of Law and Order: SVU or Criminal Minds during which the police psychologist explains a brain scan of an accused criminal to a packed courtroom. It makes for great television, but does this premise reflect real…

“Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.”
Been there, done that. And let me tell you, there is no easy way to smoothly extricate yourself and still look cool.
Admitting you're wrong is difficult. Admitting someone is right can be, too.
This is especially true when it come to critiques about your writing.

Neil Webb had been my teacher and my colleague. He was used and eventually discarded by an educational system permeated by the belief that all teachers should be heroic, obedient, and utterly dedicated to their jobs and students every day of their work-lives, often at the expense of their personal lives. But this “perfect teacher” fantasy does not make allowances for imperfection or dissatisfaction. And asking a teacher to perform in this way ignores the passions and ambivalences that draw…

Last book read, so thought I'd share my thoughts via a review...
I enjoy some crime fiction, I enjoy some chick lit, and am always prepared to try something new.
This, I think, is the second in a series with detective Orwell Brennan. A novel by Canadian actor/TV writer Marc Strange. It's set in the little Ontario town of Dockerty. It's not the sort of place I'm familiar with, fictional or otherwise, but I got a good sense of it the book.
The plus points, well, the…

We have a established a new crime imprint (NOT a vanity press!) called Grey Cells Press, and our first books will be coming out in the New Year 2013. We are still seeking submissions.

whodunit through to police procedurals and hardboiled detectives: Christie
to Chandler, Marsh to Mosley, Paretsky, Dexter and Tey and puzzles by Carr and
Crispin and Queen. We want well-written, satisfying work. It…

He has ordered the assassination of U.S. border patrol agents and their entire families. Even a sitting judge is not immune to his…
