Is it too much to ask for more Louis Morgon, perhaps going back to his earlier yrs or time with his covert agency? Thank you.

Dear Mr. Steiner: I've read all your "Louis" books, every "Bruno" book, all the "Shetlands," and every Peter Robinson "DCI Banks." I am desperate to find any author who is as good as you four. Can you please recommend someone you really like? Thank you, RL Jackson

Jackson, Thank you for writing. The embarrassing fact is that I don't read much in the genre I write in. So the only names I can offer are of writers I admire and whose work has, in some ways, influenced me. Anthony Trollope is the writer a most admire, and if you haven't read the The Way We Live Now, I think you should. It takes a few pages to get used to the 18th century idiom, but once you get used to it, it turns out to be delicious. George Eliot's Middlemarch is another great book in a similar vein. Neither of these books are exactly mysteries or thrillers, but there are suspenseful elements, and the writing is splendid. Among contemporary writers I'm fond of Penelope Fitzgerald and Rohinton Mistry. I'm sorry I can't offer you a better answer. I'm finishing up a new book now, and hope it will be available in the not too distant future. Peter Steiner(less)

Writing and Power

I'm working on a story about a young woman from a tiny village in Pakistan. She is working for pennies a day as a seamstress in a textile factory in Lahore, when fire destroys the factory. She is gravely injured jumping from a fifth floor window. When she recovers, no one will hire her because she is disfigured. "Become a beggar," they say, thinking it is friendly advice.

She is a person of tremen Read more of this blog post »

“There is a curious quality, more a failing, really, that all humans share, even the most intelligent and reasonable among us. It is this: fear and uncertainty can, and usually do, overwhelm even the most unassailable facts. Fear and uncertainty are stronger and more compelling than factual evidence can ever be, especially when the evidence is ambiguous, as evidence almost always is. And the weight of”
