Readers Name Favorite TV Shows
Recently, I posed this question to readers on My Facebook page: What’s your favorite TV show? I write in the mystery/thriller/suspense genre and I wondered how reader interests were reflected in television preferences in the US and around the world.

“Quite simply, twelve authors have the potential to be twelve times as effective as one.” This week, Barnes and Noble quoted me in their promotion for the New Release, Deadly Dozen.

Loyal Friend, Lethal Enemy
Most days, I blog here about trust, betrayal, murder, mayhem, friendships gone wrong and killer enemies. Sometimes, we discuss true crime. More often, we discuss fiction.

Saturday Special: Harry Potter World Expanding
From the court room to the theme parks, we have a lot to catch up on in this “Saturday Special.” Let’s get right to it. 1. Amanda Knox. You may recall I blogged about her retrial in December. Thursday an Italian appellate court officially decided to uphold her original guilty verdict. (You’ll recall, that’s the […]
Secret Justice and Gasparilla Security
Nearly half a million people crowded into one edge of one city all at the same time? It sounds like a security nightmare, doesn’t it? But that’s what happens each year at Tampa’s Gasparilla parade — an invasion of the pirates. The invasion kicks off my book Secret Justice. You can read more about my take […]
