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…

I have a blogtalk radio show; I call it The G-ZONE, and this week there is going to be plenty of fun for just about everybody. The line-up this week goes from Christian based authors to bocce to graphic novels  to one of the book industries currently most talked about authors, a Titan in the thriller/action/suspense genre, Barry Eisler( I am a huge fan if you didn’t know). Without further ado, here is the lineup for the week all times are EST:

Monday: Brian Goins 12pm

Tuesday:…

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…

New issue of Kings River Life is up and mystery author Sue Owens Wright joins us for a fun interview, review of her latest book "Embarking On Murder", a review of the book & a giveaway http://kingsriverlife.com/09/10/sue-owens-wright-interview-review/

Sue also shares with us a fun little story from the perspective of her Basset Hound character in her books…

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…

Another Friday is upon us. I just wanted to mention that I've been doing author interviews for quite some time. This week's interview will be the last one for awhile since I would like to concentrate on promoting my upcoming book, Beta. I hope you will join me on my blog tour and continue to visit me here as I'll be telling you all about the book, my thoughts…

My goal is to get my new release The Arranger on Amazon’s Top 100 Thriller list. I think I’m close and just need a little bump. The e-book is only $2.99, has great reviews, and a 4.5-star rating—so it’s a good deal and a good read. ☺ (The first chapter…

If you're curious about this unusual futuristic thriller, I've got a blog tour going with lots of information about the novel and how it came to be. Today, there's an interview with the protagonist Lara Evans, a character from my Detective Jackson series. At most blog stops, you can win an e-book or print copy.

Toady, at…

Have you ever wondered?  Hey, how’d they do that?

One of the most difficult and scientific parts of reconstructing a shooting incident is to determine the direction of the projectile travel and the angle of impact by examining the bullet holes that were left at the…
