New Release: A Dozen Shorts

A Dozen Shorts by J. H. Bográn

Quite a collection of short stories that range from pure action to blind romance. And why not, some dragon fantasy for good measure.
An eclectic collection of short stories coming from the mind of J. H. Bográn and his muses.

This collection comprises diverse characters on both sides of the law, from rougue FBI agents, to proffesional assassins, and everyday men and women facing impossible odds.

I strongly recommend popcorn and soda as companions while delving into these stories.

Early Reviews J. H. Bográn shows more than his writing chops in these succinct yet compelling stories filled with a mix of nitty-gritty action, twisted endings, and thought-provoking topics that will stay with the reader long after finishing A Dozen Shorts.
--Loretta Giacoletto, author of A Collection of Givers and Takers

A Dozen Shorts packs the punch of a thousand boxers. Bogran's wry Fleming-esque humor sets the tone for this varied collection. Comprised of classic noir gems, high-action thrill romps, and thought-provoking grit pieces, these stories will keep readers mulling them over long after they've read them.
--Gina Fava, author of The Race

Treasure Hunt at $0.99 for a limited time

Here's a belated birthday present from my pubisher, Whiskey Creek Press, they included Treasure Hunt in a 3-day $0.99 promo blast at both Nook and Kindle:

TREASURE HUNT:
Alexander Beck, a for-hire thief that can be contracted through the web by posting ads with his handle: The Falcon. Bill Porter hijacked a plane back in 1978; the proceedings of that caper were securely hidden inside a cave in a Central America country. Falcon is hired to retrieve it, but encounters many problems as a former cellmate of Bill, Jack Davis is after the money himself. Jack will stop at nothing until he gets a hold of the money; kidnapping Bill's daughter Jamie is only the first step.

The book will be at $0.99 from Jul/31 to Aug/01

Food and tension

What a wonderful topic for a Roundtable!

Some authors are taking a crack at the subject. Come join us:

I visited Torchwood, finally.

Found a way to pass the time while waiting for the 50th anniversary special of Doctor Who. 
In a word: 


I know, it’s not new.
Truth is, I had stayed away from Torchwood because I knew it was geared toward adults, and one of the appeals of Doctor Who is that I get to watch it with my wife and teen and pre-teen sons, fun for the my party of five. But this weekend all of them took a road trip that I my job prevented me from joining, thus, faced with the choice of visiting The Doctor in one of the old seasons or watching something just as good and new…well, guess where I clicked.
I started with 2006’s season 1. And thus far, the third chapter, Ciberwoman, is by far my favorite one. Very dramatic, well acted, and with a nice Frankenstein twist. It was also good to see Ianto questioning Captain Jack’s leadership, the exchange between was superb. 
So, I'll keep myself entertained for bit. 

Setting the details

Sci-fi author Jacquelpine Lichtemberg invited me to do a follow up post on my previous entry about settings. This time I concentrated on the details.

Participating in The Thriller Roundtable

This week, a group of authors of the ITW are discussing how to bring readers into a conspiracy with the writers:

George Bernard Shaw said that “all professions are conspiracies against the laity.” This week, we ask ITW Members Robert Rotstein, Evonne Wareham and J. H. Bográn “How do writers invite readers into the conspiracy?” You won’t want to miss it!

Come and enjoy the fun.

And the veil is lifted for my new novel

I've posted about Highland Creek in the past. I've also mentioned that it would most likely suffer a change in the title.

Well, now the deed is done and thanks to the support of a group of friends I managed to find a suitable title for my next novel:

Fellow Death Toll author Stephen Edger invited me to visit his blog, so I took the chance to explain how the title change came about. Here's the link:
