    Ron Collin’s Take On My Last Post

    Very Much Worth Reading. You can find it here: http://typosphere.com/2022/08/19/pulp-speed-its-just-me-in-here/?fbclid=IwAR2M7fDfL_WSU4rusYyC72ugOU4XVNs4lb54IR9IFHpuSUKfWzMCoCohlPk And I think his comments are stunningly healthy and level on a topic like Pulp Speed that has little healthy about it, or level for that matter. Give it a read. Very much worth it. Thanks, Ron!

    Past Crimes

    A Fantastic Storybundle… One week ago today a Storybundle at Storybundle.com/crime launched called Past Crimes. Now, I love crime stories, have published many over the decades, and I have a top-selling series of twisted mystery series with my Cold Poker Gang stories and novels, one of which is in this bundle.

Being in the company of mystery writers like Lawrence…

    THE PAST CRIMES BUNDLE (My Introduction)

    It Came Together This Way The past often brings out the best in crime. In fact, for a vast majority of crime fiction (mystery), the crime has already happened in the past and solving what happened, or who did it, or why the crime happened is the fun of it all. I personally love past crimes of another category: cold cases.

And the passing of time makes it harder and harder to solve that dormant case. Cold cases are my personal favorite past…
