Woody Haut Reviews THE DEEPENING SHADE and THE BLIND ALLEY

The great writer Woody Haut has reviewed THE DEEPENING SHADE and THE BLIND ALLEY over at his blog. Since Haut is a writer that I've admired for years now (his book HEARTBREAK AND VINE is a must for noir geeks), I couldn't be more pleased that he's turned his attention to my work, especially to two of my favorite books.

Review of THE DEEPENING SHADE

There's a really nice review of my story collection THE DEEPENING SHADE up at The Life Sentence. I couldn't be happier about it. Written by Scott Adlerberg, it's one of the most perceptive pieces that's been written about my work.

Check out the review here.

THE DEEPENING SHADE is here!

My short story collection THE DEEPENING SHADE is now available. People have said some nice stuff about it. Here's a little something from some of those people:

Benjamin Whitmer, author of PIKE and CRY FATHER, calls it "The best short story collection I've read in years."

Eric Rickstad, author of REAP and THE SILENT GIRLS, says, "These stories are a feat of black magic conjured by a master wordsmith and storyteller intimate with both the dark side and the resiliency of humanity."

Crime Fiction Lover calls it "a superior effort" with a "sympathetic portrayal of down-on-their luck people."

Pulp Chronicler says, "Each one of these stories will plant its seed in your brain and leave it there to grow long after the stories themselves are done."
