"Which one of your novels should I start with?"
Meeting new readers is great. Someone realizes I write mysteries and goes, “Oh! I love to read! Let me try one of yours!” And then the next thing they ask is almost always one of these two questions: “What’s your biggest seller?” Or “What’s your favorite?”
I get asked so much, I decided to come up with a list for each.
And while coming up with the best sellers was fairly easy, the second q

"This is a fantastic book. The story grabs you right from the start, all the pieces are put together wonderfully, and the end is pitch-perfect. The structure of the story is very well done, too. The changing perspectives add tremendously to the suspen"

"fantastic story.
I didn’t know what to expect when I first started to read this story. From the start I could not put it down. It was brilliant. I have read hundreds of books and articles this is the only time I felt moved to leave a review. Thank you" Read more of this review » |

"Wow!! Fantastic read! Paced really well. Not overcooked with useless words and scenes to fill the space. Every character remembered. Movie material. T.J. Brearton, wow!"

“In the mental health field, suicide is part of the diseases of despair. Alcoholism, drug addiction, suicidal ideation. It’s a physical health condition. We don’t ‘commit’ a heart attack. Saying it associates blame, like committing a crime or a sin. The stigma can deter people from coming forward who are contemplating suicide. And also, a person may attempt a suicide, but they may not complete it.”

“With a novel, which takes perhaps years to write, the author is not the same man he was at the end of the book as he was at the beginning. It is not only that his characters have developed--he has developed with them, and this nearly always gives a sense of roughness to the work: a novel can seldom have the sense of perfection which you find in Chekhov's story, The Lady with the Dog.”

“Good writers have two things in common: they prefer to be understood rather than admired; and they do not write for knowing and over-acute readers.”

“People will do anything, no matter how absurd, in order to avoid facing their own souls. One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.”
