Multiple Straws Break in THE CAMEL'S BACK

Brian Christopher Shea's suspense/thriller novel, The Camel's Back, is appropriately titled. The three point of view characters in the story live on personal fault lines. Declan Enright, a former elite military operative turned police officer, lost his career in law enforcement over a controversial shooting. He struggles to make those cliche ends meet for his wife and three young daughters including an autistic child. Nick Lawrence holds a position as an FBI agent with an aging mother who fig...

An Oldie but a Goodie: KREMLIN TIDE Book Review

Here's the one that started it all. Reviewer Paul S. Brandt on Kremlin Tide. It seems so long ago now!


An interesting page turner harping back to crime TV shows, this book is a great addition to anyone who enjoys suspense/thriller novels.

The Good
-As like the first book I read from this author, Kremlin Tide has fascinating characters.
-While the other book, Serial Rites, focuses more on one character, this book gets into the minds of all the characters.
-Great writing and good pacing especially a...

HEAVEN SHINING THROUGH Can Shine Brighter

At first, Joe Siccardi's Heaven Shining Through was a startling read for me. It moved so quickly I thought I had a James Patterson Alex Cross thriller. Now, this is Christian Fiction, a literary book with some romantic touches laced within it. Through the eyes Samantha, the reader learns everything about her upbringing and her relationships with her parents and girlfriends to her present day. She experiences love, joy, loss, life, death, forgiveness, vulnerability, fear, and reconciliation wi...

THE ELEPHANT BOWL: Good Short Story Suspense Tales

Charles Prandy introduces his upcoming Detective August Miller novel, A Cold Day for August, with three mystery/suspense short stories titled, The Elephant Bowl.

The title story, The Elephant Bowl, centers on a piece of evidence that springs the story toward high drama. The Endearment Diary finds Detective Miller on the trail of a cold case murderer with sad tragic results; Between The Trees depicts a cat and mouse game between Miller and her suspect that reminded me a little of Dr. Hannibal L...

COMING IN 2019...?

Just a heads up for next spring/summer. I have two more novels to hit the marketplace. I'll continue the adventures of Sergeant Malcolm X. Hobbs in Atlanta Homicide Squad #4, which will again take on the thriller genre albeit a bit differently than the Atlanta Homicide Squad #3 psychological thriller, SERIAL RITES.  The other book mines my speculative fiction side. I delved into those weird tale waters with the science fiction/thriller S.Y.P.H.E.N., a few years back. Next year, my creat...
