There's no good way to organize the mystery-related pages I've collected. I'll just gather them here and let you work out the details.

For a complete list of what I've written, see my creative credits page. For a free copy of the mystery sampler I handed out at Bouchercon 29, print out this postscript file. For a free copy of my business card, print this page and cut out the above rectangle.

Short Stories

My Derringer-nominated story "A New Beginning" is available on-line. Also, for a limited time only, I'm featuring a small collection of stories by Robert L. Iles.

And then I maintain a list of links to short mystery fiction on the Web.

Poetry

I am not a poet -- this can be read in the same sense as, "I am not an astronaut," or "I am not the Queen of England" -- but I do write doggerel with a mystery theme. I specialize in clerihews and poisonteas (the latter a form of my own invention), largely because they are shorter than, yet pay the same as, limericks. If you want a random selection from my poetic larder, visit my mystery doggerel server.

Logic Puzzles

So far, I only have "The Mystery of the Non-Tipping Tippler" on-line. If you need more puzzles, you can find them elsewhere.

Book Reviews

I've written a few book reviews for the mystery magazine Over My Dead Body! If you are an author and would like me to review your novel, send me a copy and I'll write a review. 1st ed. HC F/F, signed, "To J.D. Salinger, Thanks for the burgers and beer! Next time at my place! [your name]" preferred.

Novels

On any given day, I may be working on up to four novels. I tend to leave them lying around the house, and will just pick up the closest and read a few pages when I have a spare moment.

When asked if I write novels -- or when told that I should -- my reply is, "A man's got to know his limitations. Mine's about 6,000 words."

Memberships

I belong to the Short Mystery Fiction Society and to the Private Eye Writers of America, the first because it's free and the second because it's almost as cool (and a whole lot easier, in the long run) to say you're a Private Eye Writer of America as to say you're a private eye.
