Crime doesn't pay...but reading about crime is fun!
Duskbound Books presents NEFARIOUS, our take on crime fiction, featuring stories that range from traditional murder mysteries to light satire and even the supernatural. A porcine detective aims to solve the murder of a prince and princess, a spy searches for the truth behind his latest mission, and a gumshoe investigates mysterious deaths while battling his feelings for the reporter who follows him from crime to crime. Aliens, ghosts, and clones inhabit this criminal underworld too, and we also feature traditional cozy stories about chocolate and Italian food--not to mention the Italian mob! Come with us as we explore dastardly motives and evil deeds.
Featuring stories by Alec Cizak, Cari Dubiel, Christopher Duda, Susan K. Hamilton, Kerry Hammond, Manuel Jimenez, L. L. Kaplan, and Mike X Welch.
Hello, Goodreads! I'm a librarian, avid reader, and writer in Ohio.
I am represented by Lynnette Novak of the Seymour Agency. Although I do not have a debut novel yet, you can find my short works on Amazon and in various other places on the web. You can also subscribe to my newsletter for an exclusive four-part serial story: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/rrbwyzd8mj
A note about my reviews: I review advanced reader copies for publishers and LibraryReads, and some of my reviews are published in Booklist. I leave five-star reviews for most of the books I read, because I don't finish books that I don't care for, and it means a lot to me to leave positive reviews. As an author myself, I know how hard it is to work on a book and then get bad reviews. I do give critical feedback to publishers when I feel it is appropriate, and if I'm assigned a title I can't review, I turn it down.
**NEW: I am also assigning "Alex ratings" to each book. My coworker reads a lot of my reviews, so I like to give her a heads up on whether or not I think she will like it**
