The latest installment in the Scott Drayco mystery series, Fatal Fugue, is available for pre-order! Details here.
Hey there. Thanks for visiting my profile! I'm an author of crime fiction, including the Scott Drayco mystery series, which has been honored by the American Independent Writers, Maryland Writers Association, named Best Mystery in the Next Generation Indie Book Awards, and been a finalist for the Shamus Awards, the Silver Falchion, the Daphne Awards, the Foreword Book Review Awards, and the Kindle Book Awards. Library Journal said of the series, "worth putting on your reading list," and I hope you'll think so, too. ...more

Farewell ... but Not Goodbye
It somehow seems fitting that Typepad is shutting down at the same time the U.S. federal government is likely to shut down. There might be some sort of cosmological truth buried in there, somewhere. At any rate, after 18 years, this blog is moving to Blogspot via the following URL: https://inreferencetomurder.blogspot.com/.

B. V. thank you for adding me to your G R friends list.
Zoë wrote: "Hi BV. Thanks so much for Friending me here. How's the writing going with you?" Hey, Zoë! Writing is going a bit better. My father's health started declining in the fall leading to a stint in home hospice and his death in February. It took awhile for me to ease back into things, but writing is good therapy. I enjoy your Murderati posts and the Charlie Fox series, and maybe someday soon you can take some "Author R&R" on my In Reference to Murder blog. Authors offer their take on the research and references they use in their writing. (see http://tinyurl.com/b2vyavy). If you ever have time in your busy schedule, would love to have you drop by! Just let me know your availability at bv@bvlawson.com.
Hi BV. Thanks so much for Friending me here. How's the writing going with you?
Always happy to connect with my fellow scribes!Cheers,
Rai
Hello Bv,How are you? Thank you for accepting my friend-request and for joining Happy & Brainy. I wish you all the best for 2009 and always.
