Dom Stasi On Apollo And Aviation
Aviation has always been a passion of mine. Given that it can also be a world rich in mystery and adventure, it provided the template for my debut novel, THE STRAIT. Given this lifelong affair with flight, it’s only natural when looking back, that my first real job would have been with an outfit like Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corp.

Dom Stasi; Hand Shaking
It was 1990 when I found myself and my twin Beechcraft airplane grounded by a spate of late Spring thunderstorms.

Either way, they love to eat light … [Read more...]
Larry Sells On The Murder Trial And The “Fire In My Belly”
The trial was decades ago, but when I even try to speak of it, I find myself rising to my full height, pacing like a lion, ready to roar.

Margie Porter On How Ghost Writing Should be Haunting

WHAT A JOURNEY THIS HAS BEEN
“What a journey this has been!” is a thought that crossed my mind the other day. I was finishing up my fourth Ted Bundy book when it popped into my mind. Looking back on this journey, the most interesting aspect is that I didn’t even see it coming. For those of you who've been with me, you already know what I'm talking about. But for those who don't, here’s a brief explanation: HOW IT ALL STARTED In 2005, I met Jerry … [Read more...]

His Garden: Interview with author Anne K. Howard
A monster was on a killing spree. In just nine months, seven people went missing; all of their bodies eventually discovered in a wooded lot behind a suburban strip mall. But the investigation that led law enforcement to their suspect, William Devin Howell, is only part of the story behind HIS GARDEN: Conversations With A Serial Killer. A practicing attorney, author Anne K. Howard first contacted Howell while he was serving … [Read more...]
