Her killer was never found, until years later, when the police discovered they still had her…

Ouroboros

It all happened one spring afternoon, when the chilly breeze blew in quietly into the Hall of Chicago University’s divinity building. A student by the name of Worm Wood was going into the men’s bathroom and to his shock he found his most beloved Professor Pendinsky lying on the floor of the bathroom with a pool of blood. He also found a strange enigmatic symbol drawn on paper beside him. The symbol showed the Ouroboros, the ring of eternity having the serpent biting the ring with the…

Robert B. Parker, the most marvelous, crime writer, ever

I know it’s a bit late (more than 2 years, in fact), but I’d like to say a few, brief words about one of my favorite authors, Robert B. Parker

I was originally introduced to Mr. Parker’s work by my mother.  An avid reader of crime fiction, my mother and I started exchanging books when I was a teenager.

The first Parker novel she introduced me to was “Playmates”, in 1989.  Yes, I was late for the bandwagon, but when it rolled down my street, I happily jumped on…

Exploring The Rules of Crime Fiction

Inspired by this interesting post over at B.R. Stateham's blog, I came up with my own responses to the "rules" of crime fiction that Joyce wrote about. Here goes:

Crime Fiction Readers Secretly Want to Kill Everyone – Including You

At least, I think they do. If released into the wild, crime fiction readers would be the first to put a pitchfork through their neighbor for spite or profit.
