That’s Rahmeen. He’s actually pretty nice. If you’re not a dick.” It was hot—even hotter when you’re on the sidewalk—and Dwayne couldn’t escape his own […]

Its central character, Vic, is a reclusive weed farmer and all-around badass who ends up tangled with some very bad folks. The bodies pile up, along […]
It’s been a while, and kind of a crazy year. How have you been? Last year, almost a year ago, I announced our new partnership with Down & Out Books. I can’t say enough great things about Eric and Lance, who have done a stand up job with their own line of books, and have […]
Coughs, comes up to podium, remembers sage advice: Open with a joke. Open with a joke! Um … The novel walks into a bar, followed by the novella. Bartender says, “What’s with the new guy?” The novel says, “It’s a long story.” (Stolen from @IsTheNovelDead on twitter) A few years ago, when I tried to […]

We are thoroughly introduced to a handful of characters whose lives will unfortunately intertwine as a result of a tragic shooting. The drama of solving the murder of a police […]

Last week I called up Ron Earl over at Shotgun Honey and asked if I could get some promo in for my new novel, HUSTLE. His answer? NO. Didn’t even think about it, didn’t even take a breath, he just said NO. Then I tried Irvin. Same thing: Flat out NO. (In fact, Chris may […]
“You got a freezer. Part the fucker out. Every week or so you slip a foot or a hand in with the trash. Right in there with the coffee grounds and the other rank shit.” “No good. Problem with that is you end up with maybe fifteen chances of gettin’ caught. It raises the odds, […]
My first experience with Tom Pitts was “A Loaded Question” which he submitted to Shotgun Honey back in October 2011, we pretty much ate it up and published it a few weeks later.
