My First Book

MY FIRST BOOK: GIANTS OF THE GENRE

My advice for beginning writers looking at getting their first novel published: hang tough, it’s one hell of a ride.

An author’s first book is like a first kiss – something you’ll never forgot as long as you live. After having nearly twenty books published, my first book still has a special place in my heart. It was Giants of the Genre published in 2003 by Wildside Press.

The story doesn’t really start here; it starts about a decade…

Forum changes

Wildside Press has hosted a forum for mystery movie discussions for 15+ years. I had hoped to move most of the discussions here, but the integration is not going as smoothly as I had hoped. For the time being, I have added a link to both the new forums and the old forums under the "Forums" tab for convenience.

They retired after the death of their third partner. Kelly plays the son of that old partner, and the three reform the old gang. At first, it's a one-time job to help out Clarke's son (who's gotten in too deep with loansharks). But then they get sucked back into…See More

"The three 'shits' are more likely a translator's mistake. As English swearing goes, it's used more casually than most other words, so non-native speakers often don't even realize it counts as profanity. (They also call…"
