Here's a press release I recently published about the conviction of police officer Jason Van Dyke for killing a black suspect and his sentence of nearly 7 years. That raised many questions about both the conviction and his sentence, reflecting the split in American society. This releases addresse...

In my opinion, finding a new author is kind of like going on a blind date.
You're there, you like what you see but you don't know if you really want to stick around for the main course.
Maybe you want to get to know the author a little before ordering anything and committing?
Since I don't want you... Read more of this blog post »

It's what Lex Luthor discovered in his long struggle with Superman, his kryptonite, the one weakness that turned his super powers off, dropped him from the sky like a lead balloon, the one thing that made him human.

A sequel to The Great Wizards Wars is at the publishers and both an eBook and paperback will be launched in the next couple of months.
This is a Dahlesque book in which the backward wicked wizards and witches are dealt with in an unexpected Hollywood-style manner.

Happy New Year everyone. I may be late to this party, but I have an excuse. As some of you may know, despite the robust health of my adorable muses, I haven't been writing a whole lot. But I have been proof-reading... And my report about that is a trifle sad. (Not as sad as, for example, the path...

There are writers who want to write a story with a blend of humour and sorrow. And that's how tragicomedy came into existence.
So what is it about tragicomedy which attracts some writers so much? Why is it worth mixing funny elements with tragic elements, and vice versa?

Life sometimes could be thought of as a full time job and one with no time to really look at ourselves. What do I mean by this? Some might feel that self-reflection is a pointless or fruitless task because after all, we are what we are. But is that really true?

Why are so many mysteries, both in print and on the screen, exciting and suspenseful at first and then dull and disappointing in the end?

Interview with Tana French
Dublin crime novelist Tana French has the kind of critical reviews that other writers would…well, die for. Her debut murder mystery,
In the Woods
, won rave reviews and multiple literary prizes upon its release in 2007. Since then, her books have tended to haunt the bestseller lists, on both sides of the pond, and for months at a time. British newspaper The Independent has dubbed French "The First Lady of Irish Crime," and The Washington Post says she is the most important crime novelist to emerge in the past ten years. ...more
