Fourth "Black Stiletto" book out January 7, 2014!
The Black Stiletto: Secrets & Lies
Hello friends...
I'm pleased to announce that the fourth book in the five-book Black Stiletto saga will be published by Oceanview Publishing on January 7, 2014:
THE BLACK STILETTO: SECRETS & LIES
In this one, it's 1961 in Judy Cooper's half of the story. Judy moves from New York to Los Angeles and meets the man who may (or may not) be the father of her son, Martin. And does this mystery man have something to do with the new threat that threatens Martin, his daughter Gina, and his dying mother in the present?
This installment is a dark one, with lots of thrills and surprises that forecast the fifth and final book in the story.
Here's an Amazon link to the Kindle edition: http://www.amazon.com/The-Black-Stile...
Happy New Year!

"The Secrets on Chicory Lane" Now Available!
Hello Goodfriends!
My new novel, "The Secrets on Chicory Lane," is now available from Skyhorse Publishing.
It's something different from me--well, not really, if you've read my very early novel, "Evil Hours," to which it is sort of a companion piece. They both take place in the fictional West Texas town of "Limite."
The very kind review in Booklist describes it pretty well: “This stand-alone is a surprising but satisfying departure for genre veteran Benson, the author of multiple James Bond pastiches as well as the acclaimed Black Stiletto series. The novel offers a compelling meditation on lifelong friendship, love, and tragedy as it details the evil that destroys two families.” (Michele Leber, Booklist)
I hope you'll give it a try.
Here's the Amazon ebook link.
Happy Autumn!
