This rather short list makes it look like I didn’t read much in June, but I did. I had some misfires (as you can see), and I read quite a few things that I didn’t think were worth recommending. And then there’s Kelley Armstrong… I binged the Kelley Armstrong Rockton/Haven’s Rock series until I caught […]

The final “old” list! I finally got here. I had books stacked all over the condo, magazines falling off tables, because I got so far behind. September’s list is the final one to catch up on, and after that, I’m current. If you’d like to see the most recent list (December’s), click here. In the […]

Dean Wesley Smith and I just launched a brand new Kickstarter for our Detectives Collide project. Several years ago, Kickstarter began a fun January promotion called “Make 100.” The idea was to put together 100 of something and create a Kickstarter for it. So, of course, Dean and I figured out ways to put together […]

Yep, I’m late. I was busy last year working on saving the business, so I got behind on things like the Recommended Reading List. I thought of bunching everything into one list, but I didn’t want to, and then I thought of pretending I hadn’t missed, and I didn’t want to do that either. So […]

I’m still playing catch-up on the lists, but I decided last month to stay current with the current reading, which feels quite good.

We all need heroes right now. I think that’s why the current Superman movie is doing so well. We’re all searching for people who do the right thing. That’s why I curated the Unusual Heroes Storybundle. This bundle is full of heroes. Fourteen books full of them. Every hero is unusual. One is a mouse. Another […]

I tend to write a lot of mystery novellas. They’re too long for traditional publishers, which makes them perfect for WMG. We can put the novellas in book form. Over the last year, a number of you have asked how to get my Derringer-award winning novella, “Catherine The Great,” and while you can get it […]

Yeah, the last list from 2024. Finally. I thought maybe I would just punt this one, but I like sharing what I’ve read that I’ve liked. So I didn’t want to lose all of these to extreme busy-ness. I barely remember September, so I can’t give you lots of comments. I do know that I […]
Continue ReadingBecause I had such a crazy weird hectic 2024, I got behind in posting—and even writing up—my recommended reading lists. I finally jumped ahead and posted October’s earlier this month. I’m nearly done with November’s. But I still needed to catch up on all the good things I read over the summer. I don’t remember […]
