Again and again, we find that the art of storytelling is closely related to life itself. Crime is universal, unfortunately, but so are crimestoppers like Detectives Tom Stone and Jake Sharpe.

Some of you have read our first ever novella installment here on Medium, She Cradled the Smoking Gun. Thank you, thank you for reading.

We’ve revised it since publishing here and the final form is titled:

A Murder in Encino, currently available in ebook, audio, and Kindle Unlimited.

A Murder in Encino on Kindle ebook, audio, and Kindle Unlimited

All of our Detective Tom Stone stories are in audio form on Amazon now, thanks to AI narration. If listening to audio books is your thing, then have at.

Lastly, once I send this I’ll be writing up a short story Nitty Gritty Tales, A Prayer for Edgar.

Who’s Edgar and why should you care?

Edgar’s a childhood friend of Anthony Angelino, our wanna-be big time drug dealer in the 1st three Det. Tom Stone stories.

Edgar goes through internal turmoil and wants out of the crime syndicate that Angelino is in.

I’ll put in the final edits soon after I send this. We’ll alert you when it’s up and live whether here, there, and everywhere.
