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.

Hi Sally, My new suspense novel LAKE CHARLES is set in the Smoky Mountains. Kindle now, paper in June. Favorable review in Publishers Weekly. Best, Ed Lynskey
Hi Sally,
Am only really getting a feel for it now. Haven't read it since publication but will do so over the next few months now I've had some distance from it.
Was very pleased with the draft that made it into print as there was little edited from my original.
Kind regards,
Richard
Thanks for your kind message, Sally. Hugely appreciated.
It would be great if you could find time to leave a little Shelfari review.
Will understand if you don't though.
Thanks for trying me out.
Am just finishing book 2.
Kind regards,
Richard

Graphic novels count if you want them to. We have some people that count them and some that don't.
Hi there! I'm just dropping by to welcome you to The 100+ Book Challenge. The idea of the group is pretty much self explanatory - try to read 100 or more books in a one year period. If you do have any questions, please feel free to send a message to me or Tenia. In the meantime, good luck reaching your goal!
