SONS OF SPADE: November 2014

http://sonsofspade.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Spotlighting the fictional P.I. Wednesday, November 19, 2014. Q and A with Tom Hilpert. I was pleasantly surprised with Tom Hilpert's novel Superior Justice. And decided to ask him some questions and see what makes him tick. Q: What makes Jonah Borden different from other hardboiled  characters? Q: I noticed Jonah is a pretty good fighter, but reading the first novel I never really learned how /where he learned to fight like that and how he got that tough. Can you explain? But I was also influenced by my...

SONS OF SPADE: Hail Storme (Wyatt Storme) by W.L. Ripley

http://sonsofspade.blogspot.com/2015/07/hail-storme-wyatt-storme-by-wl-ripley.html

Spotlighting the fictional P.I. Thursday, July 9, 2015. Hail Storme (Wyatt Storme) by W.L. Ripley. For me, Storme Warning, the first new book in the Wyatt Storme series was the first one I read by W.L. Ripley. I loved it, so I am happy to see the older books being reprinted. This one is the first in the series and first came out in 1993 as "Dreamsicle" after a drug that appears in the book. I must say I like the new title a lot better. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Spotlighting the fictional P.I. Thursday, July 30, 2015. Background Check On: I, the Jury (Mike Hammer) by Mickey Spillane, adapted for audio by Mike Dennis. Mike Dennis is not only a pretty good writer, he's also the producer of cool audio books. This week he's got the audio adaption coming out of Mickey Spillane's I, The Jury. I asked him all about it. Q: Please introduce yourself to the readers. Q: Tell us about the road to get I, the Jury done as an audiobook. Back in the 1980s, I think, and they wer...

SONS OF SPADE: June 2015

http://sonsofspade.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html

Spotlighting the fictional P.I. Thursday, June 4, 2015. Don't Lose Her (Max Freeman) by Jonathon King. Good thing too, because I enjoyed earlier books in this series. In this one Max is asked by his buddy, lawyer Billy Manchester to look for his kidnapped wife, a pregnant judge. Sometimes aided by the FBI Max searches the Everglades for her. All in all though, Max is a good character, the writing is tight and the atmosphere perfectly described. Not the best in the series, but still pretty good. Find Her ...

The Outfit: A Collective of Chicago Crime Writers: Thrillers and Romance-Oil and Water or Does Danger Add that Certain Something?

http://theoutfitcollective.blogspot.com/2012/04/thrillers-and-romance-oil-and-water-or.html

Tuesday, April 10, 2012. Thrillers and Romance-Oil and Water or Does Danger Add that Certain Something? The Romantic Times Convention. Is in Chicago this weekend and The Outfit members will be there enjoying every minute. I've never been to an RT Convention, and having it in Chicago is a wonderful opportunity to attend. Of course, I got to thinking, does a Thriller writer belong there? I'm not kidding, the award exists. Here are the 2011 nominees. And can I tell you how I do NOT want to make this list?

A Twist Of Noir: April 2014

http://a-twist-of-noir.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html

Saturday, April 5, 2014. Bill "AJ" Hayes Remembered. TEAM PLAYER - AJ HAYES. An entry in the recent Watery Grave Invitational. Just a trace bar lost in the north desert near Albuquerque. Summer thunder ozoned the air outside and stormfront wind out of the Sangre De Christos made the rat-ass bikes lined up in front shake on their kickstands and blew the trash around in the beds of pick-ups with tribal stickers peeling off rusted chrome bumpers. He pushed back from the bar and followed me outside. We s...
