Detective Crane hung up the phone and turned to his young partner. “Well, they’re on their way,” he said in a low voice. Karen Stillwater nodded, feeling a thrill of excitement that she carefully kept from showing on her face. They were making progress at last. Between Fireson and Rockford’s statements and the information they’d … Continue reading Thrilling Adventure Stories Presents: Sarah Rockford and Karen Stillwater in “Mate in Two”

Last week the trailer for Captain Marvel, the next entry in the venerable Marvel Cinematic Universe, arrived. For those who don’t know, Captain Marvel is a female superhero with tremendous energy manipulation powers, whose presence was teased in the last scene of Avengers: Infinity War (I will refrain from discussing any details for those who … Continue reading Thoughts on the Captain Marvel Trailer
Thrilling Adventure Stories Presents: Andre Fireson and Sarah Rockford in ‘A Snare of Attraction’
Sarah Rockford returned to consciousness with a throbbing headache and a very dim recollection of what had happened the night before. She sat up, rubbing her head and trying to figure out where she was. It obviously wasn’t her own apartment; her whole place probably could have fit in the bed alone, and besides, … Continue reading Thrilling Adventure Stories Presents: Andre Fireson and Sarah Rockford in ‘A Snare of Attraction’
Thrilling Adventure Stories Presents: Andre Fireson in Necessary Evils
Andre Fireson was no stranger to elegant afternoon affairs like this one. Being the President of a major arms manufacturer, he’d often had to wine and dine his way to a lucrative business deal. They could even be enjoyable at times; there were worse ways to spend an afternoon than among well-educated, successful men and … Continue reading Thrilling Adventure Stories Presents: Andre Fireson in Necessary Evils
The Ten Commandments of Murder: Available Now
I'm a big fan of 'cozy' mysteries: Agatha Christie, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Dorothy Sayers, G.K. Chesterton, I can't get enough of them. Naturally (because that's how my mind works), I've always wanted to make one of my own. So, I did, and it's now available on Amazon. “A house of many sins is a … Continue reading The Ten Commandments of Murder: Available Now
Thrilling Adventure Stories Presents: Sarah Rockford in Crime Uninvited
Sarah Rockford reflected that it was a very strange thing to be sitting across the table from a man who had come very close to murdering her only a few days before. “Thank you for consenting to see me, Mr. Lepton,” she said. “This won’t take long.” Lepton said nothing. He was looking at her … Continue reading Thrilling Adventure Stories Presents: Sarah Rockford in Crime Uninvited
Thrilling Adventure Stories Presents: Nick Windworth and Karen Stillwater in The Crush of Evidence
Karen Stillwater eyed the man before her with distaste. Though a few inches taller than she was, something about his sloping shoulders and somewhat drooping face made her think of him as a little man. He wore a dirty jacket, shirt, and unkempt tie and hung a battered felt hat on the peg by … Continue reading Thrilling Adventure Stories Presents: Nick Windworth and Karen Stillwater in The Crush of Evidence
Thrilling Adventure Stories Presents: Nick Windworth in The Man in Grey
The shop bell chimed and a young woman entered. Nick guessed she was in her mid twenties; pretty, though less than she might be. Her fair young face was worn with anxiety and her light brown hair was tangled, probably from the number of times she’d run her fingers through it. She looked anxiously around … Continue reading Thrilling Adventure Stories Presents: Nick Windworth in The Man in Grey
Thrilling Adventure Stories Presents: Karen Stillwater in Deadly Currents
It was her first murder. Detective Karen Stillwater knelt over the body of the young Black man lying in the street, his face turned upwards to the sky, his eyes wide, lips slightly parted as though bewildered by what had happened to him. His gray t-shirt had been dyed red from the three bullet-holes lined … Continue reading Thrilling Adventure Stories Presents: Karen Stillwater in Deadly Currents
Thrilling Adventure Stories Presents: Andre Fireson in Fire From Behind
The alarm went off as usual at four-thirty in the morning. Andre Fireson hit it, rolled out of bed, and switched on the lights. He stretched like a tiger rising from a nap and looked up at the portrait of his father that hung on his bedroom wall. Time to go win another day. Andre … Continue reading Thrilling Adventure Stories Presents: Andre Fireson in Fire From Behind
