In the Mood for a Twisted Thriller?







Or just not sure what that even means? If so, here's a couple of dozen authors who would love to help you find out.

And while I haven't read all of these books, I'm not sure you'll find one more twisted than my entry to this collection, Of Half a Mind. It's a modern-day, mad scientist tale with a twist ... or two.

For all of you who only have fifteen minutes to call your own …

Here are the Fifteen-Minute Mysteries!

They’re a collection of four short stories that span much of my writing career, from Under the Microscope, the kernel of which I wrote in high school, to Tell Me What I Want to Hear, winner of the St. Louis Writer’s Guild Short Story Contest in 2022.

And for all of you who wonder if artificial intelligence really represents a threat to the creative work of authors, Fifteen-Minute Mysteries also includes a bonus short story written by ChatGPT. It’s a locked room mystery of the ilk of The Murders in the Rue Morgue, a short story by Edgar Allan Poe. I’ve also included two of the four prompts I used (one for each scene), so you have an idea about the questions I posed to ChatGPT. 

So, did the AI write garbage or an award winning novel? My take on that question is in the book, but I invite you to be the judge.

This collection is FREE, but only on January 1 and 2, 2025, so get your copy now by clicking HERE
