Momentary Lapses

This blog was created during a momentary lapse, a period when I'm stuck in my writing and trying to jog something loose in my brain or push myself so close to deadline that I can kill, without remorse, the beloved opening or headline or quote that is keeping me from moving forward. Most of my posts here will have to do with writing, including occasional Favorite Writing Quotes (FWQs). Please share yours, and your comments, too.

A Miscellany of Murder

Why is Adelaide, Australia, known as "The City of Corpses"? How many actors played Sam Spade? What were Dirty Harry's greatest lines? Do blondes have more fun - and fewer convictions? How do you bury a body?

There's nothing like a little murder to challenge the dark side of your brain. This dastardly little volume is organized by the seven deadly sins, giving you all the gumshoes, guns, and gore you need to explore the sinister side of human nature. From amateur sleuths to serial killers, this murderous miscellany of crime--both real and imagined--is just the thing for a dark and stormy night.

It's on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Spencer Gifts, and other discriminating places to buy books. OK, that's the end of the Blatant Self-Promotion.

Meet the Monday Murder Club, our Boston-area mystery writers group that "executed" the Miscellany. That's me at lower right and then, clockwise, Paula Munier, Jim Shannon, Andy McAleer and Stephen D. Rogers.
