This Week in Review(s)
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, […]
Cursed
A short, somewhat romantic, Felix mystery. The kind of thing that keeps him in business, and his wine and fish-sauce stocked.

I’m going to frame this!
This popped up in my feed, thanks to Atatoly Сastle. Made me laugh so hard! It will be framed and hung on the wall. It’s as classic a version of Felix as can be!
Of Greeks and Romans, and crafting worlds
This is a guest post I’ve written for Pure Jonel’s blog. Originally published on: http://purejonel.blogspot.com.au/2016/02/GP.AM.html Of Fantasy Worlds and Roman Gods I have a confession. It’s about one of my pet peeves. Whenever someone casually mentions the “Greek and Roman gods”, or goes on to describe a “Roman mythology” by quoting tales of the Greek pantheon, […]
