New Year, New Novel

I am pleased to announce my latest novel: One Murder Too Many (Asin: B0BRBRQ6RB ). One Murder Too Many by Wayne Clark

As with my other recent books, it takes place in New York City but during different time period: the 1920’s. It was a joy to research this exciting time in our history. I hope you enjoy the characters and the story as much as I enjoyed writing it for you!

One Murder Too Many is about a former New York cop turned P Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Wayne Clark  (?)

“Relationships weren’t ocean liners with stabilizers. They were flimsy affairs. No, they were more dangerous than canoes. They were kayaks, two-seaters that overturned with every careless comment, each intimation of indifference. You spend half the time upside down, under water. It takes a lot of skill to get right-side up before the relationship drowns.”
Wayne Clark, He & She

“It was you who put the revolver on my bedside table. I just pulled the trigger.”
Wayne Clark, He & She

“Souls had a way of talking. His wanted to shake him up, turn him upside down like a piggy bank to see if anything valuable dropped out.”
Wayne Clark, He & She
