Excerpt from Chapter 1 Hard Time – page 11

It wasn’t that way wh...

Toxic
Saw a Facebook post the other day from an acquaintance in the Steampunk community, about a backhanded compliment he'd received on his looks. I commented to the effect that I thought he was a very handsome man - possibly one of the handsomest men I know. I wasn't kidding.

The Unreliable Narrator as a Literary Gimmick
The unreliable narrator is very popular right now. Thanks to authors like Gillian Flynn, Paula Hawkins and Ruth Ware - all overrated writers in my opinion. These authors use the unreliable narrator in the same way an amateur magician pulls a coin from behind your ear. It's a gimmick.

Spring Song on Ile de Chien
Something close to spirit--
a word, perhaps,

sometimes glisten,
sting like medusae
unrooted by a murdering wave
and roll southward drowning
towards the leeching sand:

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
