To Kill or Not to Kill a Character

September 11, 2014 By Seeley James

Publication Date: Late October

PERSONAL DEATH, the third Pia Sabel thriller, is nearing completion. What struck me as I worked through the first draft, was the big problem facing all series’ authors: no matter how much peril the hero/heroine is in, s/he has to live for the series to survive. My wife quit reading Karin Slaughter when she killed off […]

Sneak Peek at Blue Death!

May 13, 2014 By Seeley James

When I titled a post “Do You Like Changes?”  I received emails, Facebook IMs, Google+ comments, and a comment on this site from readers concerned about Pia’s narrative. So, I’ve put together a sneak peek at my work in progress. This gives you a 3,000 word (10 minute) look at how Jacob Stearne will handle his responsibilities […]

Trench Coats, Episode V: The Reckoning Road

If you’re a fan of Pia Sabel, thank you. You are the BEST! You must have been telling your friends about the new Trench Coat series because, after some lackluster holiday sales, Episode I took off in January. Episode II also saw a bump. I expect (and hope) that will trickle down to the other […]
