            W. S. Gager’s A Case of Hometown Blues follows Mitch Malone, award winning journalist, as he returns to the chaos and evil of the Michigan town where he grew up.

Rick Robinson, Sunny Frazier, and Sparkle Abbey.

Three authors (four actually since SA is actually two collaborators) to whom I must give credit for making me think about this week’s blog. Let me explain.

Many moons ago, I met Sunny Frazier, Oak Tree Press’ acquisition editor, at the Killer Nashville conference. She was personable, open, friendly and we became…

I have a fondness for British crime authors - and Simon Kernick is one of them. He's perhaps not as well known as some of his counterparts in North America, but is worth checking out.…

The field house that held the bazaar was a couple miles away from the carnival rides and other attractions, so there wasn't as much traffic as I thought there would be. Still, I met some nice folks and signed a fair number of books.

Also my review of The Warlord of Willow Ridge by Gary Phillips is in The Big Thrill, the newsletter of the International Thriller Writers. Whether you’re looking for a…
