Means of Death.
Every week I will describe a weapon or method of despatch. Knowing exactly how a weapon works or a poison affects the body helps with plotting.

I've always been fascinated by the various ways to kill people (for crime fiction writing purposes, of course)! I wrote a blog on my site about various means, but I'm not that familiar with firearms. Can you get that illustration of the firearm yo...

About Me:
Hey people, I've been into writing crime since i was 14. My skills are improving slowly but I have bemoaned the fact that there's nowhere for crime writers to hang out and discuss the genre.

This is fine but there should be a place to discuss the greatest genre in publishing. CRIME.

Phew...

My new site is up guys.

I will be adding new content every day to keep it fresh.

So check it out.

Thanks, John. That has happened on other sites I belong to as well. People think they can get away with that kind of thing. Thanks for taking care of it.

Hi, John!

Couldn't help thinking you seemed a litle lonely! It's a great idea for a site, and I'm sure it'll take off massively. I'm glad to be here.
