Histyrical Fiction
I am sure anyone who has tried to sell their book on Amazon has struggled with the choice of category. Amazon offers the choice of two categories to position a book on their virtual shelves initially. Two are seldom enough. For the seven books in my Zack Tolliver, FBI fiction series, an accurate categorization would … Continue reading Histyrical Fiction
Bringing Down The Heifers
They were bringing the heifers down from the high ranges today. I knew it as soon as I began to run the backside of the Jeep road. Deep hoof mud cups covered the entire width leaving a million sharp sundried ridges like a honeycomb. No cattle anywhere. The weather has been skittish lately. Cold enough … Continue reading Bringing Down The Heifers
Las Cruces Murder: Another Look
The gap through the Santa Ynez Mountains north of Santa Barbara is a wild and lonely place. I write about it in my new Zack Tolliver, FBI series book LAS CRUCES as such, a place where no one has reason to linger after dark. Truckers and a few lonely cars pass through, their headlights flashing … Continue reading Las Cruces Murder: Another Look

Crime in Las Cruces
Who doesn't love a treasure hunt? It is that same excitement that draws me deeper into my research, as much for my fiction as for history. I do not write fantasy. My crime mystery novels occur in a different location each time––real, identifiable places. It is my purpose to describe the area in such detail … Continue reading Crime in Las Cruces
From Fiction To Reality
If you research your writing intensely, as I do, it seems inevitable that fiction must approach reality. If the location is described intimately and accurately, if the culture of the people there is truly transcribed, if the political possibilities are assessed accurately, might not events occur similar to those that befall the protagonists, all unknowing? … Continue reading From Fiction To Reality
Writing Comfort
Readers look for a wide variety of benefits from books. But the same reader does not always desire the same thing every time. Non-fiction readers can address their needs topically, searching out books on sleep, or nutrition, or style. Fiction readers can also seek books to suit their desires, be it romance or fantasy or … Continue reading Writing Comfort
