A High-Tech Voyeuristic Serial Killer in a DEAD GAME
An Award Winning Emily Stone Thriller
Saturday
1800 Hours
The room was entirely black. There were special window coverings that didn’t allow a trace of light to enter from any other natural or unnatural sources. Windows, doors, or other rooms didn’t exist in this environment. It gave the illusion that the world was only a vast void because it had been obliterated from space. The universe had given up the responsibility of one of its own planets to make more room for what evil lurks in the darkne...

Investigating the Psychological Autopsy
One of the most interesting aspects of studying criminal behavior and criminology is finding out why and how criminals commit a specific crime. It’s really the complicated and daunting task of finding out what makes an individual tick and hopefully learning more about their criminal pattern of behavior in the process. That is why it’s so important that every crime scene be treated as unique and investigated thoroughly.
Victimology is an information gathering tool that investigators use to help...

Serial Suspense – Episode 3
The door slammed open with a bang. Both killers entered AJ’s bedroom, angry and determined to find the little boy to silence him – permanently.
The bedroom was quiet and empty.
The taller man fumed, then his fists clenched as he tore posters off the walls and tossed toys from every surface. The comforter, sheets, and pillows were thrown to the floor as the mattress was pulled from the race car frame.
Nothing.
His stocky partner madly com...

What is Your Personality Type?

I don’t think anyone has not heard someone described as a Type A Personality in movies, a family member, or someone you work with on a regular basis. Okay, I’m not immune to this personality type label. I admit it, I’m driven, focused and I have goals for both my personal and business ventures, and…. I can be intense at times.
So is this a good or bad thing?
Well, I wanted to dig a little bit further to find out where this Type A Personality Type originated because...

Serial Suspense – Episode 2
Screams in between muffled pleas came from the kitchen. Mrs. Baker begged for her life with every ounce of energy she possessed.
The house became quiet.
The tall, thin man dragged the woman’s lifeless body along the floor into the living room and left her next to her husband covered in blood. To his partner, he barked. “Hurry up!” Without wasting another word, he yanked off Mrs. Baker’s wedding ring and took Mr. Baker’s wallet. He eage...

Serial Suspense – Episode 1
Mrs. Baker mended her husband’s work shirt with expert needlework and nimble fingers. It would suffice for at least another year as she carefully knotted the last thread. She looked up at her husband stretched out on the couch and let out a sigh, “It’s supposed to be a beautiful day tomorrow. How about we take AJ on a picnic in the park?”
The flash of scenes from the television show mesmerized Mr. Baker, but he replied with enthusiasm...

There is a big division in the aptly labeled type of writer called plotter or pantser when it comes to writing a novel. I make no bones about it, I’m a plotter. Yep, I admit it. I outline my stories, not only for my own sanity, but to ensure that the storyline has the progression that I’m aiming for in order to tell the story the way I envisioned it. It also helps with complicated plots and numerous suspects to keep them in the correct order.
When wri...
