Last year, 2023, was my best royalty year in the 9 years I’ve been an indie author/publisher.
And that was almost entirely due to proceeds from one book: Death Wears a Crimson Hat, which is the first book in the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles multi-author series.
Watch the Meet the Author vodcast to learn about the beginning of the series.
In October 2023, I released my second contribution to the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles. You can watch the Meet the Author vodcast to learn more about Ten Million Ways to Die. One reviewer thought the book was better than my inaugural book, Death Wears a Crimson Hat.
And on February 20th, Who Mourns Elektra?, my third book in the series will launch.
You can watch the Meet the Author vodcast to learn more about my newest book.
Where can you buy these books? Just tap or click the title and you’ll go to Amazon.
Who Mourns Elektra? (Link will go live when the book does)
And for the entire series (lots of great reading awaits), go to the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles series page on Amazon.

If you’ve ever had children, or gotten a puppy, or kitty, you know the feeling I have of love towards my newest baby: Ten Million Ways to Die, the 18th book in the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles series.
It might seem silly to some to equate a book launch with a newborn human, dog, or cat, but you see there are people, real people, within the pages of that book. And they are the children given life by my imagination.
In this virtual world in which we find ourselves, where people fall in love with AI apps, I don’t think anyone should find it strange that people can and do fall in love with the people they find within the pages of a book.
People love their dogs, their cats, their children, their spouse, their partner, Mr. Darcy, Heathcliff, Eudora and Doc, Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin, and Klara.
And so it is with authors. At least some authors. Doyle grew to hate Sherlock Holmes. Christie hated Hercule Poirot. But I think most authors have an affinity for, if not love for, their characters. Their virtual children.
I know I do. I love Tina and Harry Wright of the Justinia Wright mysteries. And Bill Arthur of the Rocheport Saga. Plus Pierce Mostyn, Dotty, and Helene of the Pierce Mostyn Paranormal Investigations series. And Lady Dru and Dunyasha from the alternative history world of Lady Dru Drummond.
In my opinion, if an author doesn’t love his characters with an intense love, then neither will the reader.
So today, I give you a story involving two characters I love dearly: Harry Thurgood and the Reverend Ember Cole.
Ten Million Ways to Die is a mystery in which amateur sleuths Harry and Ember must solve a murder in order to get police detective Reece Sovern off their backs.
Ten Million Ways to Die is also the story of the blossoming love between Harry and Ember.
But the story is also a tale of revenge, justice, and misguided love.
It’s also available on Kindle Unlimited. If you’re a KU subscriber, you’ve already paid to read the book. So go ahead and do so. You don’t want to waste your money, do you?

On Monday, October 23rd, Ten Million Ways to Die, the 18th book in the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles goes live.
The book is my second contribution to this ongoing multi-author crime fiction series. And I am very proud of it. I think it is a bang up mystery, and my beta readers agree. Which is always a good thing when your beta readers think you’ve produced a dynamite book.
To whet your appetite, I’m giving you a snippet. Last week, I gave a link to the Meet the Author podcast where I read a section from Chapter 2. If you didn’t catch that, you can do so here: https://youtu.be/kIpDKf2VkwE
Today, Chapter 3 comes your way. In this section, we see some behind the scenes machinations on the part of Scarlett Hayden, who is in love with Harry Thurgood, to break up Harry and Ember.
There is a scene with Mary Lou Fight and her ongoing attempt to run both Harry and Ember out of town.
And a scene with Ember questioning Harry’s secret life.
Secrets. Deadly secrets. Secrets to die for. Enjoy the snippet!

Tuesday, 10 October
10:33 am
In a palatial spread on Sandalwood Drive, the enclave where the monied folk in Magnolia Bluff live to avoid mingling with the Great Unwashed, Mary Lou Fight was looking at photographs in her living room, which was larger than Harry Thurgood’s coffee shop by quite a stretch.
Across from her sat a nondescript man. A little taller than average. A little bit broader built than average. Dishwater blond hair, what was left of it. Facial features no one would probably bother to remember.
His suit came off a department store rack quite sometime ago and hadn’t been altered. Nor had it ever seen the inside of a dry cleaners.
Mary Lou looked up from the photographs. “Hunter, I’m surprised. These are worthless. They don’t tell me anything I don’t already know. Everyone knows he sits in his coffee shop and talks to the little strumpet. And this one…” She held up the color glossy print. “Who cares if he ran a red light? This is not like you at all. What else have you found? And don’t tell me nothing.”
“He’s very good, Mrs. Fight. Honest. I can’t even find anything to prove his name isn’t Harry Thurgood.”
“If you’re trying to get more money…”
“No, it’s not like that, Mrs. Fight. Honest. I don’t know who he knows, but whoever it is they are good. Very good.”
“And who do you think he knows?”
“Well, if my theory is correct and he paid for a new identity, then we are talking, for an ID this good, someone who works with organized crime.”
“You mean like on that nasty TV show?”
“Yeah, something like that.”
“I see. So he is a criminal.”
“Maybe. Maybe not. But he probably has connections.”
“Keep digging. If you need money to loosen tongues, let me know. I want him to pay.”
“I will, Mrs. Fight. I’ll keep digging. Everyone has a dirty diaper. I’ll find his.”
“Good. Because I want him gone. I want him in jail so he can never come back. So he can never have his precious little harlot. I want him locked away with a lot of mean and nasty criminals who will humiliate and emasculate him. Do you understand?”
“Yes, Mrs. Fight.”
“Good. Now, go.”
“Hunter left, and Mary Lou, using her walker, slowly made her way to the floor-to-ceiling picture window. The window that looked out onto her world. And it was her world. Everything she saw, and much of what she didn’t see. Her husband, Gunter, owned the bank, and in owning the bank, he controlled the lives of many of the good folk of Magnolia Bluff. And Mary Lou controlled Gunter. Together, they controlled almost everyone in Magnolia Bluff. Everyone except for Harry Thurgood. And that made her angry.
He had thwarted her attempt to get rid of that little minx, Ember Cole, who had the audacity to stand in the pulpit of her church. A church she couldn’t even go to anymore because of Harry Thurgood. He had threatened her and thwarted her. Humiliated her in her own town, and that made her blood boil.
She clenched her fists, and in a voice barely above a whisper, but filled with a venom that would make a rattlesnake hide under a rock, she said, “No one humiliates me, Harry Thurgood. No one.”
***
Across Burnet Reservoir, in a very large Prairie-style home on the northwest shore, nestled among the trees, Scarlett Hayden stood at her picture window and looked out on her world. The resort that made a rich widow even richer.
She’d been standing there a long time. Long enough for her martini to have lost its icy coldness.
Even though the resort was full, something not uncommon for October, a last hurrah for the tourists, the day was starting out quiet. The Smiths, her very efficient caretakers, had handled everything this morning, leaving her with little to do and a lot of time on her hands.
Scarlett hated the quiet days. Hated them because she always found herself thinking of Harry Thurgood. Daydreaming about what life would be like waking up with him beside her in bed. She wanted him more than anything. But he was only interested in that skinny Ember Cole.
The couple of times he’d visited had convinced her he’d enjoyed her company. And he would’ve stayed the night. But it was always Ember on his mind.
Her martini was thoroughly warm now. She walked to the kitchen sink and poured the gin and vermouth down the drain. She watched the liquid and her dream flow away.
“Maybe I need to get reacquainted with the football team,” she said out loud. “Maybe the high school team as well as the college team.”
She barked a harsh laugh and shook her head. “No. If I want the star quarterback, then I’m going to get the star quarterback. I deserve the best and I’m going to get the best. I’ve had my fill of the milk. I want, no, I deserve the cream.”
That decision made, she fixed herself a fresh martini. Drink in hand, she walked to the sofa and stretched out on it.
Scarlett took a sip of the ice cold liquid. “I just have to figure out how to get him away from Ember.” The glass returned to her lips and she took another sip of gin, scented with a trace of vermouth. “But how?”
She stared at her genuine Tiffany lamp. The monochromatic yellow-green hues of the glass and the arachnid-like raised veins coming down from the clawed top she found to be soothing.
After some time, she took a swallow of her drink, and said, “There’s always Mary Lou and her goddamn groupies. She knows everything. Maybe I need to get back into her good graces. After all, Mary Lou wants Ember gone as badly as I do.”
Scarlett took another swallow of the martini. “And then there’s Daphne. Women always tell their hairdresser everything. Getting close with her would definitely give me an additional information highway to drive down.”
The rest of the martini disappeared in one long gulp.“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. If I were good friends with Ember…” She shrugged. “Why not? If I can poison her opinion of the coffee man and get her to dump him…”
She pursed her lips at the thought, and a big smile spread across her face.
***
Ember Cole stood up and stretched.
Scattered across her desk top were sheets of paper, her Bible, the New Testament in Greek, and several commentaries.
Her eyes came to rest on the statue in the far corner of her office that Harry had given to her at Christmas.
“Why give me a statue of Mary and Jesus?” she’d asked him. “You do remember I’m not Catholic?”
He’d chuckled. “I remember,” he’d answered, and added, “It’s religious art and you’re religious, aren’t you?”
“I am.”
“So there you have it. And don’t throw it out, or give it away.”
“What makes…”
He’d held his hand up. “It’s valuable. Like very valuable. And incredibly old.”
“Really? How old?”
“Let’s say that it might have been used by the Druids.”
“The Druids? They weren’t Christian.”
“No, they weren’t.”
“And?”
“As I said, it is incredibly old.”
“I see. You aren’t going to tell me. Okay. So why give it to me? And how did you get it in the first place?”
She remembered he’d smiled at her and said, “I want you to have it because I love you. As for how I got it, let’s just say it’s a family heirloom.”
She didn’t believe him, but knew she wasn’t going to get anymore out of him. So she’d put the thing on a table in the corner of her office, even though she thought it was one of the ugliest works of art she’d ever seen.
“Dull, crusty black metal. Skinny, ugly figures that don’t even look like real people.”
Harry had laughed at her description.
The statue was wood, and the wood was overlayed with a black metal. It stood a little over two feet in height from the base to the top of Mary’s crown.
The Mary figure was tall and skinny and seated on a backless chair. The baby Jesus was seated on her lap, and he was wearing a crown as well, just like his mother.
The statue reminded her of pictures she’d seen of Medieval depictions of Jesus and Mary. Highly stylized. Not at all realistic.
The statue wasn’t the only gift Harry’d given her, which made it easier for her to accept the ugly thing.
She walked over to it, squatted before it, and said, not for the first time, “I wonder what makes you so special other than you being old?” She stood. “Sure wish Harry would tell me what’s up with you. Maybe Father Lee would know something.”
Ember walked back to her desk and sat. Not Father Lee, she thought. Harry. He needs to tell me about his past.
Then she shook her head. “No. If he tells me his dark secret, then I’ll have to tell him mine. And I’m not ready to do that. Not yet. Maybe never.”
Her eyes darted to the statue. Mystery man. Mystery art. So many secrets. So very many secrets.

What do you do when people just won’t leave you alone? You get away from it all.
And that’s exactly what supermodel Jo and her husband JJ decide to do when the paparazzi just won’t leave them alone.
Magnolia Bluff, Texas is about as far away as one can get from those camera toting busybodies. And that’s exactly where Jo wants to go.
She and JJ plan on revisiting old friends and getting in a whole lot of R & R at their favorite B & B.
Well, that’s the plan.
And we all know what happens to even the best-laid plans.
At Jo’s insistence, the vacation quickly morphs into a search for vacation property. And when an old ranch that needs some TLC turns up, it does so with a dead body. Of course it does.
But the body is not alone, there’s a half million bucks with it.
And unfortunately for JJ and Jo, somebody wants that money — and will stop at nothing to get it.
Hopes. Dreams. And murder. Just another day in Magnolia Bluff. Let’s hope JJ and Jo get to finish their vacation. Alive.
The Killer Enigma drops on August 19th. But you can get it now for only 99¢ on Amazon.

Richard Schwindt is no stranger to writing fabulous fiction. And he’s definitely no stranger to writing marvelous mysteries.
Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles
Men Lying Dead in a Field is his second contribution to the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles series. His first book, The Shine from a Girl in the Lake, is an exciting serial killer mystery thriller and is available on Amazon.
Men Lying Dead in a Field is available on Amazon and is only 99¢ for a limited time.
Dr. Michael Kurelek is caught unawares when his father appears in Magnolia Bluff, just released from sniper duty in Ukraine.
When a stranger turns up dead shortly after, shot through the heart in a field outside of town, Mike needs to act.
His investigation will place him in the sights of a deadly adversary. Everyone has a secret, but someone is killing psychologists, and Michael Kurelek could be next on the list.
I’m looking forward to reading this ASAP. It’s going to be one heck of a mystery thriller.
Richard Schwindt

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle did not invent the mystery genre. That honor goes to Edgar Allan Poe.
But Doyle did make the nascent genre extraordinarily popular. Once Sherlock Holmes caught on with the public, there were dozens of imitators all vying for attention.
The Sherlock Holmes Mystery Formula
The formula that Doyle created for his genius sleuth endures to this day. It’s the formula all traditional mysteries follow. With stylistic variations, of course.
Here’s Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes Mystery Formula:
We meet the detective at home or in his office and learn that he is a genius.
The client enters, tells the detective a tale of woe, and the detective decides to take the case.
The detective hunts for clues to solve the murder (or other crime, if the story isn’t a murder mystery).
The detective, having gathered enough clues finally knows who did it, and either catches the killer himself, or tells the police how the murder was done.
The significance of the Sherlock Holmes Mystery Formula is that the story’s focus is on the sleuth and the puzzle he is trying to solve.
Mysteries are Cerebral
At base, mysteries are cerebral, not visceral, reads.
Mysteries are a puzzle. The author is challenging the reader to see if he can figure out who did it before the detective’s great reveal at the end of the book.
By comparison, thrillers are visceral reads. They are packed with emotion. Their goal is to keep you on the edge of your seat, chewing on your nails.
Thrills and Spills
That doesn’t mean there can’t be thrills in a mystery, because there certainly are thrills. Often plenty of them. Car chases. Kidnappings. Shootouts. And lots more. They just aren’t the main course. The puzzle is.
My own Justinia Wright Private Investigator Mystery series follows, more or less, the Sherlock Holmes formula.
If your reading diet is mainly thrillers, you might find the mystery pacing too leisurely, or sedate. At least initially.
But hang on to your hat, because by the middle of the book things are heating up and heating up fast.
Real People
My Justinia Wright series was patterned after Rex Stout’s Nero Wolfe and Archie Goodwin mysteries.
Like Wolfe and Goodwin, sister and brother Tina and Harry Wright are people. They have lives apart from being private investigators.
Chandler gives us little glimpses into the private life of Philip Marlowe. And I can see why the glimpses are brief. Marlowe’s personal life is rather boring. He does play chess, but it’s games out of a book.
Tina and Harry, on the other hand, have interesting lives — and I share their lives with you. They are, after all, real people. At least I think they are.
So the lives of my detectives get intertwined with the mystery to provide a seamless window into the world of Tina and Harry Wright, and the people and critters they care about.
Get in on the Fun
If you like books about people, if you like Wordle or other puzzles, then you’ll like the world of Tina and Harry Wright.
You can find all of the many cases in the Justinia Wright Private Investigator Mystery series on Amazon.

Book 12 in the multi-author Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles series.
Bliss
Quite frankly, Bliss is one of my favorite characters in the world of Magnolia Bluff, Texas.
She’s a snarky and fun-loving person who will die for pizza and swoons over peanut butter. But most of all, she especially loves being free and independent. A rolling stone with no responsibilities.
Only the Good Die Young
In Only the Good Die Young, Bliss is once again back in Magnolia Bluff. Only this time she’s in town willingly — houseboat-sitting for her friend, Olivia, and helping the Doyle family celebrate Easter.
And what a celebration it is: piles of good food, and great music from the popular local band Loco-Motion.
Everything is going along just great until the lead singer picks up her favorite guitar, touches the strings, and turns into a living — and soon dead — fireworks display.
Now that Nina Warren is dead, and the logical suspect pool is Bliss’s favorite family, the Doyles, she wants to be involved in the investigation.
Of course Chief of Police Tommy Jager doesn’t want Bliss’s help.
And of course, Bliss and her friends ignore Tommy and begin poking around in the life of the late singer.
I don’t want to give away the storyline. That would spoil the mystery.
Cindy Davis’s Best
Instead, let me say that with Bliss and her adventures, Cindy Davis has hit the ball out of the park.
These are fabulously entertaining cozy mysteries. Just plain old good clean fun. With a healthy dollop of the paranormal thrown in that really spices things up.
Ms. Davis has a knack for making the paranormal seem so very normal. And she does so with a deft hand. The Bliss books are clearly Cindy Davis at her best.
You will definitely want to get in on the action, the laughs, the fun, the pizza, and especially the noggin-scratchin’ puzzler of a mystery.
Who wanted Nina Warren dead, and why? Count on Bliss to find out and end up dying for her efforts. Well, almost. Maybe.
I love the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles series. Eleven writers producing some of the best mysteries and thrillers for your entertainment.
And I especially love Bliss. I think you will too.
Only the Good Die Young by Cindy Davis. On sale right now — on Amazon.

People often ask me for book recommendations; especially PI mysteries, as they can be difficult to find.
A recent look at the Amazon Top 25 in the Private Investigator category had me dumping most of them because there wasn’t a shamus in sight.
When the category is Private Investigator I don’t know why Amazon allows FBI agents, amateur sleuths, DCIs, vampire hunters, and who knows what else to take over the category. ‘Tain’t right. ‘Tain’t fair.
So without further ado, I give you 10 bona fide Private Detective novels for your reading pleasure.
This Doesn’t Happen in the Movies by Renee Pawlish. This the first book in the Reed Ferguson series, and it is a goody. A bit hardboiled, a bit noir, and a bit cozy.
The Italian Affair by John Tallon Jones. The Penny Detective is fast becoming one of my favorite PI series. Moggs and Shoddy are super characters. You will love these guys. And this book is especially fun.
Deadly Passion by Joe Congel. Tony Razzolito, aka The Razzman, is a great character. This is a fab series. I keep praying Joe will write faster.
Turn on the Heat by Erle Stanley Gardner (as AA Fair) is one of the novels in the Bertha Cool and Donald Lam series. Not as well known as Perry Mason, the series, though, is quite good. Although, I think Gardner missed a bet by not giving Bertha a bigger role. She is a stupendous character.
China Trade by SJ Rozan. I love Rozan’s Lydia Chin. A very refreshing character. Bill Smith, on the other hand, I’m not so taken with. Lydia and Bill aren’t partners. But they help each other out. Friends without benefits, one might say. Although Bill would love for their relationship to get to the benefits stage. The odd numbered books are in Lydia’s POV; the even, in Bill’s. Super series.
The Golden Spiders by Rex Stout. I love the Nero Wolfe mysteries. Put me on a desert island with the Tom Barnaby Midsomer Murders and the Nero Wolfe mysteries and plenty of tea and I’m in heaven. Nero Wolfe is the yardstick by which I judge a mystery’s quality.
The Long Goodbye by Raymond Chandler. I just finished reading the Marlowe mysteries. They are fab. Especially the later ones. This novel is probably my fav. I’ll be re-reading these in the near future. No one can beat Chandler for uniquely engaging descriptions. Do read the Marlowe books. They are amongst the best books you’ll ever read.
Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie. Poirot is, IMO, rather one dimensional. He’s peculiar, and noticeable, but not in a way that makes him a fan favorite like, say, Sherlock Holmes. Christie’s strong suit, IMO, is her complex storylines. Not her characters.
The Case is Closed by Patricia Wentworth. The Miss Silver mysteries are good reading. Wentworth is on par with Christie, and deserves to be more widely known.
The Shoulders of Giants by Jim Cliff. Excellent mystery. My great sadness is that Mr. Cliff didn’t write more than 2.
The above are 10 gumshoe novels I very much enjoyed and I think you will too.
Comments are always welcome! And until next time, happy reading!
