I started my first book, "This Immortal Day", several years ago, and after coming this close to being published, (but not quite) I gave up and wrote online femslash fiction. Then one day I discovered I could self-publish on Amazon. Since then I've published my fourth novel, "Eye of a Needle", the third book in The Soul's Voice series.

My books have contemporary settings, and while they are about the ordinary and all too human business of daily living, they also demanded a spiritual dimension I wasn't expecting while I was writing them. (More on that in my blog.) I've categorized them as lesbian fiction, female sleuths and police procedurals since my protagonists work in law enforcement. ...more

I immediately started downloading interviews and articles on how the stock market really works and having read what feels like gigabytes of information about dark pools and high frequency trading I agree with Mister Lewis; Wall Street is totally rigged. When you see people in those colored jackets running around yelling, that is just a performance; in stock exchanges everywhere, buyers and sellers meet digitally, inside black boxes.

The reality is that stock exchanges, for years now, execute trades in less than a half a millionth of a second. How fast is that? It’s more than a million times faster than the human mind can make a decision. So why is that a big deal? Because executing transactions of thousands of shares of stock in less than a blink of an eye lets stock traders screw investors out of their own money at unimaginable speeds to the tune of nine to eleven billion dollars a year.

It’s one thing to wonder how people will accept the reality of how Wall Street actually works. But what would happen if a really smart person inside that industry, someone always under pressure to produce more, what if that person just snapped the tether?

The Torso Murders

Well, finally.

Okay, it’s up and ready in the Kindle store:

The Soul’s Voice Series: Book 4

High frequency trading has taken over the stock market on Wall Street and the stakes are higher than they have ever been. Tens of thousands of shares of stocks are bought and sold in transactions that take only millionths of a second and that’s a huge problem, because when the stock market becomes an entity fo Read more of this blog post »
