I love to read, I have been reading since I was a little girl. my mom tells me that she would hear me reading Dr. Seuss books. I didn't know how to read yet but from hearing them read to me and looking at the pictures, I was reading them. I remember begging my mom to buy me Nancy Drew books when I was a Brownie. I was reading adult fiction by... more »

    Hi Beth,

    Thank you for following my work (LAKE CHARLES, THE BLUE CHEER) and my reading lists. My new crime novel, ASK THE DICE, has been published by Crossroad Press. I have no other connection with CP, and they’ve also published novels by Tom Piccirilli, Billie Sue Mosiman, John Lutz, and Ed Gorman.

    ASK THE DICE has earned 16 Four- & Five-star ratings on Goodreads, and is priced at $3.99. Readers in their reviews have said they like ASK THE DICE’s voice and unusual plot twists. Spur Award winning author Larry Sweazy writes in his 5-star Amazon review: “[Ed] Lynskey delivers from start to finish with a stylish noir thriller.”

    Please consider downloading ASK THE DICE to enjoy on your favorite e-reader. I’ve included links to Kindle and Nook below.

    If you prefer to read from traditional books, the paper version will be available shortly. Please let me know, and I’ll get in touch when it is.

    ASK THE DICE’s description appears there. Thank you for your continued interest in my work.

    Best regards,

    Ed Lynskey

    ASK THE DICE synopsis:

    Over the past two decades, Tommy Mack Zane has faithfully worked as a contract killer for Watson Ogg, the Washington, D.C. crime boss. Now middle age creeping up finds Tommy Mack edgy, jaded, and weary of his grisly trade. As he contemplates retirement, he is framed for the murder of Mr. Ogg’s niece. Desperate, Tommy Mack enlists the aid of his friends, the mercurial D. Noble and burly Esquire to do battle with Mr. Ogg and his mercenary “dark suits.” A new, better life filled with his passions for poetry and jazz drives Tommy Mack to the slambang climax where a few dark secrets about his past are unearthed.

    Thank you :) Oh I LOVE Greyhounds. My brother got an Italian Greyhound not too long ago and came for a visit and she was so cute! I have always wanted to adopt a Greyhound from one of those rescues that take in previous race dogs. Is that where you got yours since you said you adopted her?

    Hi! I love your avitar. Are those you two caique parrots? My husband have a friendly, human-loving, mischievous, opinionated sun conure and three cockatiels who are a flock unto themselves and distain humans. From what I have seen of caiques, they are rambuncous and loving. But, we only have room for the four we have.

    Anyway, Happy Holidays!!!!

    Hello. My site indicates that I might know you, but obviously, that is unlikely. However, with the tag, Beth reads a lot, I couldn't resist sending you a note. With a shelf of 1613 books, I guess you do indeed read a lot. Maybe you will even check into my new novel! At any rate, take care, and nice to "meet" you.

    Hi Beth, I haven't checked in to Shelfari for awhile but noticed you read The Road and thought it was ok. So many people loved or hated it- I was in the loved it category. I haven't read anything lately that really rang my bell... I'm reading The Lost Symbol right now. I'm on the wait list for two of Cathy Lamb's books but she seems to be pretty popular so it may be awhile before I get one. I'm really in need of a page-turner, I'm tired of so-so books! Well, my library is huge enough so I should be able to find something (and the library book sale is at the end of the month-yeah!). Hope to hear from you soon.

    I hope you like FrugalReader. I think it really is more social than PBS and I like that it makes a detailed requirement for book conditions (none of those "gross books" you hate if you don't want them! LOL I spend my credits as fast as I get them :D
