    Odd Prompts: Missing Lynx Snip

    You’ll find the beginning here. The characters were introduced in The Case of the Perambulating Hatrack.  *** After a long silence, I focused on her again. She’d been sitting apparently motionlessly while I thought.  “How is it that you think I’m willing to commit common burglary?” I put my hands on the desk, quietly. They…

  • Curmudgeon’s Corner: Eyes of a Doll

    Curmudgeon’s Corner: Eyes of a Doll

    Written by Sanford Begley I believe I reviewed Rob Howell’s first book A Lake Most Deep earlier. If I didn’t I should have. Howell makes an interesting combination of Noir detectives and Byzantium locations that is funny and straight at the same time. His latest, The Eyes Of A Doll is no exception. I must…

    Dragon Noir: Snippet 10

    You will find the previous snippets here… Great White Hunter I wheezed for air, and managed to hold up my hands so he could see them empty. “Conrad, dammit…” I had to stop and suck wind. “Hellifino who you are.” He boomed, from close range. I was bent over trying not to throw up, and…

    Dragon Noir: snippet 9

    You can find the earlier snippets at the Snippet Herding page (in the main menu. I will repair the link as soon as I can). Morning came far too early, after that late of a night. Ellie didn’t come in with the coffeepot as she often did, and not for the first time I wondered…

    Dragon Noir: Snippet 8

    You can find the other snippets here… First Marriage “I’d been told I’d die, after the elfshot. But hours turned into days turned into months… Mother was concerned about me, I’m sure. But she seemed more concerned that I would die and there would be no one left to carry on the Mulvaney line. Our…

    And I have a cover! Let me know what you think in the comments, there is still a little time for changes. Continuing the War council meeting in the kitchen… You will find the other snippets here.  And for the second time that night, jaws dropped around the table. He smirked, almost hidden under the…

  • Dragon Noir: Snippet Seven

    Continuing the War council meeting in the kitchen… You will find the other snippets here.  And for the second time that night, jaws dropped around the table. He smirked, almost hidden under the voluminous beard. “I’m not always a hothead. Sometimes I leave that for the boy, here.” He gestured at me. “First, we must…

    Dragon Noir: Snippet Six

    And the book is done, off to beta readers, and feedback is already coming back. I will have a cover done this weekend, aided by potential bad weather that will trap me in the house so I have to work… or fool around. But I think I’ll at least get the cover done! As always,…

  • Dragon Noir: Snippet 5

    And… I’m still not done writing this. I did get work done on it while I was at LTUE, but I have had dual exams since my return. Going to work on it this weekend, and talked to my editor about sending it to him at the end of the month. So I need to…
