After I started working on the assignment, I was pleasantly surprised to discover it would be a cover story.
Excited to read a book before its release, thrilled to read the start of a new series, and wowed by the the actual story.

Blog postAvailable for pre-order DARKSOUL, book #2 in the Dark Days Series
Sophie Keane survives because she is useful to some very powerful people who live in the shadows, manipulating the wealth of the world.
She is their fixer. A problem solver. An assassin.
She is capable of any task they demand from her, no matter how distasteful, even if it comes at the cost of her own soul.
But even for a woman like her there is a line that cannot be crossed.
Her Hidden pay -
Blog postFresh off the success of last year’s Blacktop Wasteland, S.A. Cosby delivers another powerful thriller with Razorblade Tears. Ike Randolph is a Black man with a past, but he left prison over a decade ago, reformed his life, and started a successful business. Still, he hasn’t come to grips with his son Isiah’s homosexuality.

Blog postI interviewed Jeff Abbott about his new book, AN AMBUSH OF WIDOWS for the July edition of The Big Thrill
Jeff Abbott’s new novel, the devilishly titled AN AMBUSH OF WIDOWS, is about two women with nothing in common except a tragedy.
An “ambush” is the collective noun for a group of widows, and Abbott finds it interesting it’s the same noun for tigers and widows.
“Make of that what you will,” h -

Blog postBack in December of 2018 I gave a TED talk in San Pedro Sula Honduras about how writing started as a hobby and ended up becoming an alternate career.
The title is the same motto that graces my email signature: "I never tell lies, I only write them."
The video is now available at TED’'s YouTube official channel and you can see it here:

Blog postSpent an hour in the morning updating my Goodreads profile, and it turns out I've read more books this year than the years before.
In fact, I had to raise my goal from 20 to 30 books. Definitely the pandemic has helped, but also writing interviews and reviews for two magazines have provided me with enough assignments to never wanton for a read.
For the record, 11 of those books were not assignments. -

Blog postOne of the most difficult battles in my writing career has been the language barrier. Spanish was, and remains, my native language. The American Dream has reached outside North American borders, and I wanted to become a writer with a publisher in New York City. I figured all I had to do was write in English. A simple plan, right?
At nineteen, I was blessed with a job where I had to speak and write in English. Then there was the reading. Every early customer presented me with books. -

Blog postFor the June edition of The Big Thrill, I had the opportunity to interview two people I admire:
I met D.P. Lyle in the hallways of ThrillerFest in 2010, so I jumped at the opportunity to talk to him about his newest book, Sunshine State, and how he intertwines thriller with humor.

Blog postOn May Fourth I was invited by the Centro Cultural Sampedrano to give a lecture on Star Wars.
I took the opportunity to discuss the arc of the story on cinema's most iconic villain. I mean of course, Darth Vader, the Jedi formerly known as Anakin Skywalker.
Staying out of the Star Wars Stories, I concentrated on Episodes I through VI, starting from the cute little boy who casually murdered countless people by destroying a space ship. Granted it also saved the lives of his frie -
