L. A. Starks

United States

Profile Information:

Hometown:
Texas
About Me:
New e-book editions of 13 DAYS: THE PTHAGORAS CONSPIRACY (October 2013) and STRIKE PRICE (March, 2014)from StoneThread Publishing!
13 DAYS: THE PYTHAGORAS CONSPIRACY, is also in print from Brown Books Publishing Group and STRIKE PRICE from Nemaha Ridge Publishing Company.. About 13 DAYS, drawn from my experience in the high-risk oil and gasoline business, Euro-Review says: "Author L A. Starks delivers an unstoppable thriller that put this reviewer in mind of bestselling novels of this genre over the last several decades."

3) Check out my two Amazon Shorts, now on Kindle. 2) The crucible that was San Francisco during the Vietnam War provides backstory for STRIKE PRICE character Jesse Drum in "A Time for Eating Wild Onions." 1) Even a perfect wingsuit flight among the clouds couldn't change the betrayal in "Robert and Therese Guillard: Choices."

    Thanks for the welcome LA. -I will be back to say more, but am in the throes of exploring a new computer, new OS and also 'speaking' IBM.  I have been a Mac person all my life and decided to take the 'big leap' and am finding it a little intimidating, cant even figure how to load my picture -but soon  -LOL

    I think Connelly writes some of the best first pages in the business.  He draws me into his stories right away.  I also loved seeing him playing poker on Castle.

    Thanks for the welcome. I'll have to take some time to explore around here and participate. 

    Michael Connelly is definitely addictive; I've hooked a few people on his books.

    i'm still struggling with that changeover from Mac to Ibm system.  -Ironically, my 12 (going on 25 ) year old grandson has NO problem with this and is helping me. - I in turn am teaching him to drive and shoot. An excellent symbiotic relationship.

  • Jerry Uretsky

    Thank you for the greeting. As you know I just joined the site. I have some reservations over using social media sites, as I tend to be a person who values my privacy. I simply enjoy reading books but am highly selective. I am definitely not into crime "noir". My pleasure is quirky crime stories played out in a humorous environment and well written. I joined the site so I could learn who others were enjoying reading and what aspects were particularly entertaining.  Thank you.  Jerry

    Thanks for the invite. I found this site in my search for "The Masuda Affair" by I J Parker. It seems that the paperback edition is a mystery in itself as it seems to have vanished.

    Thanks for welcoming me into the community.... :)
    I still have to find a pic. I thought as I was typing in my Bio that it must seem kind of unique or that it's not real! But it is... That's me! Lol.

  • William Wilde

    Thanks for the add. I actually thought the first book by Tana French, In the Woods, was better, but I was bothered that she didn't resolve the earlier mystery of what happened to the missing children twenty years earlier.
