NPR has been very good to me, and their recent review of my bank heist novel, Outsourced, is no exception. Here is what they've said so far about 3 of my crime novels:
Outsourced "a dark gem of a story...a macabre delight to read"
Pariah "as nasty and clever as noir can get"
Small Crimes "The plot of Small Crimes ricochets out from this claustrophobic opening, and it's a thing of sordid beauty." on selecting Small Crimes as one of the top 5 crime and mystery novels of…

I have to disagree with Alan’s comment below. I hope you guys don’t mind me eavesdropping, but I feel like I just walked by a rude, schoolhouse, bully that’s farting on a playground victim. The violence in “Outsourced” is appropriate for these types noir fiction, and as for the ending, Dave is a savvy enough writer to avoid cliché endings that plague most crime fiction. My thought is if you go through to trouble of reading a novel from cover to cover at least provide a response that’s deserving of the author’s respect instead of a rude, knee-jerk, reaction. CJ
Great to have you aboard -- if only to remind me that I'm not the only fan of the movie Ghost World.
Thanks for befriending me here, too!
We should grab a beer someday. We can invite Henry Louis Gates and that Cambridge cop.... :-)

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”
Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."
Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"
Book Synopsis:
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.
I have talked to Roger Corman many times over the phone but haven’t met him in person. A great guy to work for.
As to your comment about web-zines being detrimental to writers, I’ll just say this… I would’ve never landed in the Best American Mystery Stories if it weren’t for Thug Lit. And I would’ve never been contacted by New Horizon’s if it wasn’t for the story in Best American.
Great news about your option; hope it goes into development.
How's the Kung-Fu going? Unfortuately, I'm a weekend warrior right now.
Truth be told, I'm thinking about ditching facebook. It's too big a time suck. I'm testing the waters here to see if CrimeSpace is more my speed. I miss Hardluck.
