As the countdown continues toward the October 1 release of Beta and the first adventure of private investigator/martial artist Mallory Petersen, I thought I’d take an opportunity to show you a small part of the world of an actual private investigator.
I met Amy Drescher at the Killer Nashville writers’ conference in 2010. She sat on a panel discussing…

This essay appears at the end of C.E.L. Welsh's latest work, Coffeyville, a Harry Houdini Novella, and discusses the author's love for the subject matter:
“The Story Behind The Story: Coffeyville, a Harry Houdini Novella
I am a retired magician. Actually, that may be stretching things on a few technicalities; yes, I have been paid to perform magic, and thus could have been considered a pro, but my skills never eclipsed the mildly talented. It has been years since I’ve handed…

In the last few days, I've had an amazing experience. Amazing because I discovered a natural story that no one I know of has written.
It began when I mused about what it would have been like to be an honest detective in Berlin during the Nazi era. (The thought came from a reference to Nazi I made in a short story). I figured it would have been difficult at best. I started some research on-line and found it wasn't just difficult, it was a horror. That brought the thought…

Darren Sant is a man of many hats; he is a writer, he is a blogger (Close to The Bone), and I think he may drink rather heavily if there is any truth told on his blog. It seems he and his mates over there are always finding a reason to raise a pint or quart in someone’s or something’s honor. Understand, Darren Sant is a loyal subject of the Queen over there in merry old England. Why do I bring up that point? It gives you a little more understanding into his dark sense of humor, his edge and…

The birth of a heroine, I love it. A brand new series by Lisa Taylor that takes us into a duel world: West Point Cadet and CIA operative. The author is a graduate of West Point, so we are getting the real deal here, and she provides us with a total gung-ho attitude with Shana Black. The universe she creates is a very unique one, the plotline and narrative very fresh for this genre, and overall it is a very nice, kick-a#@ read. If you are looking for action, suspense, thrills and a can do…

I’ve mentioned Operation Paperback before.
To use their words, “Operation Paperback is a non-profit
organization that collects gently used books nationwide and sends them to
American troops deployed overseas.” Since 1999, the organization shipped over
1.3 million books to our soldiers.
We collect books at work and to date have shipped 1,026
books. We accept donations from our employees and a few libraries have given us
their ‘withdrawals’.
I love…

I have found that in this new e-book age that anything that was released a month or so ago seems out of sight out mind. I have news for you; a good read is a good read no matter the age or when it was released. Just because an author doesn’t pump something out on a monthly basis and decides to wait a few months between his or her work doesn’t mean they have fallen off a cliff or into a raging volcano.
My point is this: dig a little for your next read. Look hard, look long, and enjoy…

In the last month Michelle Vasquez has released two digital short stories: “Second Hand Bookstore” and now “Til Death Do Us Part”. Some may say they are shocked by this, me, well, I knew she had it in her. The quick success she has attained is a testament to her hard work and ability. The thing that catches my eye about her work though is that both stories are polar opposites, one is a nice, warm and cuddly tale, the other is a hard core suspense/thriller/horror…
