About this author

Pete Morin has been a trial attorney, a politician, a bureaucrat, a lobbyist, and now, a novelist.

Pete’s short fiction has appeared in NEEDLE, A Magazine of Noir, Words With Jam, 100 Stories for Haiti, and Words to Music. He published many of them in a collection titled Uneasy Living, available in ebook.

When he is not writing crime fiction or legal mumbo jumbo, Pete plays blues guitar in Boston bars, enjoys food and wine with his wife, Elizabeth, and their two adult children, and on increasingly rare occasion, plays a round of golf. He lives in a money pit on the seacoast south of Boston, in an area once known as the Irish Riviera.

Pete is represented by Christine Witthohn of Book Cents Literary Agency.


I’ve had a most unusual month.


A few weeks ago, I was involved in a very scary car accident. I was fortunate not to suffer serious injury , but I did experience the trauma that comes with the life-threatening incident. And that blasted “whiplash” that keeps a lot of lawyers in business.

Who Do, Voodoo? by Rochelle Staab
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
I am not an aficionado of the cozy mystery. I've read plenty of them, and haven't read one I really loved - until now.

My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
Reed Farrel Coleman's Hurt Machine is superb.

The latest in the Moe Prager series, Hurt Machine shows us a depth to humanity that goes far beyond the standard mystery/crime formula.

Prager has learned he has cancer, just as he is preparing to attend hi...more

The Boy From Reactor 4 by Orest Stelmach
My rating:
didn't like it it was ok liked it really liked it it was amazing
add to my books
I've read over 40 mystery/suspense/thriller novels during the past 18 months, and none of them circumnavigate the globe. Orest Stelmach's The Boy From Reactor 4 does that - and everything else - with elan and eclat.

This is the story of an American wo...more
Diary of a Small Fish by Pete Morin
" This is probably the most grown-up novel I've read outside of college. I like to read across genres, but I typically don't dabble in this sort of thing.

I'd give it a 5 out of 5 for pure quality. I was sceptical about reading a self-pubbed fiction,... "

Pete Morin Hi Cheri - I've asked to "claim" it already, but they must suspect I'm a fraud. I think they're doing a background check.

;-)

My first fan! Ohhhhhhh!!!!!
