Here is a writing tip that helps me:
Write like you’re skiing downhill, a little too fast, almost out of control.
Don’t sweat the quality of the writing on first draft, just tell the story.
And don’t re-read it until you are done, until the first draft is finished.
Nothing is as important as mome... Read more of this blog post »

Stranglehold is a gritty, visceral novel that is totally Jack Ketchum. Ketchum pulls no punches in his fiction. His writing is not for the feint of heart, and this novel certainly fits that bill.

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
