Felix the Fox is a failed magician (not his fault he couldn't pay tuition and got thrown out), a discharged legionary (honourably discharged - even if the dice were loaded), and a full time investigator of crap no one else wants to touch.
Assaph is just the guy putting words on paper for Felix.
Since becoming an author myself, I have met and befriended many other authors. It had the unfortunate effect of making my to-read list even longer, but the benefits of reading some incredible works far outweigh this. One such author is Dan Buri. We connected through social media, chatted, and had found a common language even though our […]
I’ve been busy lately, working of the first draft of In Numina – the second full-length Felix mystery. Which means that whenever I have time to write, I concentrate on that. The mind of a writer, however, is a funny thing. Ideas come and go out of nowhere. Some of them can be saved for […]
No, not Lady Gaga. Queen. The rock band. What’s wrong with this generation? Anyway. Radio is not dead. And to prove it, I was recently been on two radio shows! First is Jessie’s POV on 98K. Jessie runs a current affair show during the week, and a fairly-random-but-often-book-related show on weekends.

The first one was by Joshua Calkins-Treworgy a few weeks ago. Then came Brian Basham with Night Reads, reading aloud the first chapter of Murder In Absentia. The latest podcast […]

As any one who had ever had to deal with with writers and authors knows, coffee is our life’s blood. We need it to function, to wake up the muses. And, again as anyone who’ve met and read blogs about indie authors know, we also tend to interview each other, challenge each other, and generally […]
This has been one awesome week for Murder In Absentia! Three awesome new reviews were published – plus the first podcast review! For anyone who doesn’t know, I have this three-step plan of making writing my full-time job: Publish Book Get Movie Deal Buy Small Island So while a podcast is not quite a movie deal, […]
A short, somewhat romantic, Felix mystery. The kind of thing that keeps him in business, and his wine and fish-sauce stocked. It calls on his unique set of skills, for those discerning customers with off-beat problems. My clients usually have hopes. When one contacts a detective, they have certain expectations, an anticipation of resolution to […]
