I have been writing poetry most of my life and this selection of work is especially personal to me. As an artist and a writer I feel the need to communicate to the world what I believe to be important. Poetry and free verse are the means of my expressions and the short stories that I wrote in play form I believe will be entertaining and suspenseful. The character of John Griffith was based on a good friend who died a young and tragic death. You might say he lives on in these short stories and the characters themselves; though largely fictional, I consider memorable. My work like my life is seen through a darkened lens, but that lens adds depth to the soul. I do hope you sincerely enjoy this read. Those who have read it have not been able to put it down. I hope the same will apply for you. With all my heart, Ronald E. Anderson Patterns With A Twist was originally written several years ago and enhanced with my work in the historic Granada Theater where we held productions and yes conducted tours of this historic building.

Since his first novel in 1992, Michael Connelly has become one of America's most popular and critically acclaimed crime writers. He is best known as the author of a long-running series featuring LAPD homicide detective Harry Bosch, a compelling figure in contemporary crime fiction. He also created several additional series featuring a criminal defense attorney (Mickey Haller, known as the Lincoln Lawyer), an FBI profiler (Terry McCaleb), a newspaper reporter (Jack McEvoy), and an LAPD policewoman (Renee Ballard) who works the night shift. When he began incorporating all his characters into the Bosch megaseries, he expanded the notion of what a crime series can accomplish.This work takes an in-depth look at all of Connelly's work, including the 34 novels that comprise the Bosch megaseries, the film adaptations of his books, the popular "Bosch" TV series, and his standalone novels, short stories and podcasts. It includes chapters on his novelistic artistry and his portraits of Los Angeles and its police department.
Broken hearts do not fully heal. Even if they are mended, fissures remain and over time pressure can split open old wounds. There was a time when Emma and I were solid. There was a time when it was just the two of us against the world. I ignored the cracks beneath the surface. Now, everything is different. They are after us and they are not going to give up no matter what. They have more resources, more man-power, more strength. What do we have? We used to have each other, but now? I’m no longer certain we have even that. What happens when the new life we tried to build shatters once and for all? Praise for Charlotte Byrd “BEST AUTHOR YET! Charlotte has done it again! There is a reason s...
Murder and mayhem. Fantasy and humour. Add them together and you have Darkness and Light, an eclectic collection of short stories by Lino Neil Sterlini Byrne. In his first book, the author has created a collection of stories with characters you will love to hate and others you will love to love. In “Victor,” a hospital porter is a serial killer. He stops murdering after falling in love with a nurse. Unfortunately, the nurse falls for a doctor, leaving Victor in a murderous frame of mind. In “North Brother Island,” two photographers try to take shots of a dilapidated hospital, until one night when they see a light in the ruins and hear ghostly voices that appear to be the spirits of previous patients. “The Love of My Life” refers to two dogs that want to mate, but will the dogs’ owners come to terms? A murdered man is the “Ghost Writer” who is sending messages on the computer, hoping for justice. These tales run the gamut of emotion and will mesmerize readers!
