Review of Dead Game by Wendy of "Minding Spot"

Posted by Wendy at 3:55 PM

Emily Stone and Rick Lopez used to work for the police. Now, they work independently catching child killers. Most times, they do all the detective work then alert the proper authorities to make the arrest. The local police department think it's a rumor that there is a phantom detective out there doing their work for them. But then they get an email with the whole crime layed out for them on a child killer, and they become believers.

Crime Scene Investigation – Challenges of Cellular Phones & Handheld Devices

Take a moment during your day and look around at all the technology buzzing away and crackling about the airwaves. Cell phones are literally everywhere and some phones have amazing capabilities of text messaging, Internet search, email, and GPS to just name a few. It has been estimated that 90% of all Americans own a cell phone. That number is just an amazing statistic to ponder.

What does this mean for police and crime scene investigators?

As with any evidence, this new and constantly evolvin...

Life Imitates Art with Actor from Law and Order: SVU

While catching up on some stories of interest, I came across a photo that offers a great example of real life and a fictional world colliding. Actor B. D. Wong, who plays Dr. George Huang on NBC's Law and Order: SVU (one of my personal favorites), was in Washington, D.C. last fall to participate in a rally that hoped to put the spotlight on child abuse and neglect prevention. As many of you know, Wong's character on the show is a psychiatrist who often works with children who have suffered fr...

Another 5 Star Review on "Dead Game"

Jennifer Chase does it again! Hang onto the edge of your seats and prepare to bite your nails to their nubs. Dead Game is a thriller that you'll want to devour in one sitting. It's provocative. It's compelling!

Like the Phoenix rising out of the ashes, her heroine Emily Stone continues the hunt for pedophiles and serial killers. This time, she does it anonymously. It's as if she is a guardian angel for the potential or very real victims of one of the most heinous criminals since Hannibal...

A Year's Reflection and Writing From Experience

It's interesting how we don't really reflect back on what we've done the past year until the New Year rolls around. I found myself not only making lists and budgeting my time to specific projects for this year, but thinking about everything that had happened in 2009 and even earlier.

2009 was a great year for me with the completion and publication of my second thriller novel Dead Game, meeting new friends, finding and networking with other authors, and trying not to take life so seriously no m...

So You Want to Write a Screenplay – But Now What? By Author Jennifer Chase

I've loved movies for as long as I can remember – all genres, drama, action, thriller, and comedies. The cinema has been a writing inspiration for my novels and a fun escape for me.

Writing a screenplay is rewarding and fun. Writing quick, snappy dialogue to bring characters to life, cutting away to high impact, action sequences, and making sure that the ending was satisfying to moviegoers.

Well, that's exactly what I did. I learned to write screenplays. I've written more than ten scripts to...

Violence, Crime, and Psychopathic Offenders

Not all crime and violent acts are committed by psychopathic offenders. Individuals with a variety of mental disorders and addictions commit even some of the most unspeakable crimes in our society today. One of the biggest challenges facing our criminal justice system is incarcerating violent offenders with substance addictions, personality disorders (including psychopaths), various types of brain damage, major affective disorders (such as mood disorders), and schizophrenia.

We hear the modern...
