Paranormal Craft: The Rules of Incorporating Supernatural Elements into Mystery Stories
Recently, upon mentioning to a friend that my upcoming novel had supernatural elements, he quipped: What is it with you and the paranormal? Good question! It’s true that I’m fascinated by the possibility of life beyond the veil, and by the limits of our current human knowledge. And I like to use these elements in my mystery novels to ratchet up the stakes, because of the element of not knowing. Article continues after advertisement We’ve all experienced it.
How To Go Beyond Blaming Mom for Everything (Or if You Do, at Least Make It Interesting)
It is axiomatic that one should “write what you know,” but in truth I had a very good relationship with my own mother, and then many years later with my own child. But on the pages of a novel, estrangements, misunderstandings, and strife of all sorts are typically more interesting to read about than even-keeled, sunny relationships.

Historical Novel Tells Intriguing Story
Eli’s Promise By Ronald H. Balson St. Martin’s Press This wonderful historical novel tells the story of Eli Rosen and his relentless pursuit of the truth. The story begins in 1939 in Poland, where Eli’s company is “appropriated” and given to a man named Maximilian Poleski. Poleski is known as a profiteer who doesn’t care about people, only money. He knows that in order to make money with the business, he will need to keep Eli around to manage it.
Mystery Scene
Juliet Blackwell’s The Last Curtain Call is a blast of a read, as ghostbusting home renovator Mel Turner takes on an old movie palace as well as her mother’s childhood home in San Francisco. It’s hard to inject humor into this kind of a mystery because in order to be effective, humor needs a bit of a satirical edge, but in a cozy that edge can’t be too sharp or biting. Blackwell gets it just right, and I selected this book for review on the basis of the humor on the very first page.
The Last Curtain Call
Chapter One It has been my experience that when homeowners take the time and trouble to permanently seal off a room, they usually have a Very Good Reason. And typically, that means something about that room is Very Not Good. So when my foreman, Mateo, announced that the attic of my new house had a sealed-off closet with a window, I found it hard to keep the tone of my voice casual. "Sealed off?" "Yeah," said Mateo.
