Need a favor. I have a book in Do No Harm, a collaborative box set that went live today. Each author has to get 10 reviews posted for their book. If you have read The Gamma Sequence by me, or Only Wrong Once, by my friend Jenifer Ruff, could you please post a quick review […]
My murder mystery Double Blind is intense and filled with very dramatic – and occasionally gruesome – scenes. Two detectives are hunting a serial killer while the killer is hunting them. It’s not a “cozy” mystery. The two detectives are partners, but they are also friends – and that’s where the book gets the charm […]
From a reader: Oh my! Just finished Double Blind. Good grief your plot and mind that concocted THAT and also does children’s stories leaves me in amazement. At first I almost stopped reading as it was just plain gory and sickening to spend time reading about people at the mercy of their repulsive delusions. I […]

A story about power, politics, money, and sex will last a long time in the news media. Does that mean a fiction book written that way will be more appetizing for general readers? Or does a genre have an optimal combination of those?
We author types love it when people leave reviews on our books. I tell everybody: Love it or hate it, please leave a review on Amazon! BUT! It never occurred to me that a lot of readers don’t know what to write in a review. So here’s a brief tutorial! (You may show your appreciation.) […]
Check out my interview on “A Girl And Her Book Reviews.” Interview with Multi-Genre Author Dan Alatorre You’ve written in a lot of genres — thrillers, horror, children’s. Not many authors can do that. Tell me about the mental shift that lets you jump from one to another. Hmm. Dealing with kids can be a […]
