As unbelievable as it sounds, he was the author of over 100 thriller novels, screenplays, and short story collections written under 14 pen names, both male and […]

Book Review – Flowers From Berlin – Noel Hynd – Thriller Novels

June 22, 2014 by William F. Brown

“Flowers From Berlin” by Noel Hynd was first published in hardback 1985. Kindle released the “25th Anniversary Edition” last year, and while I don’t quite understand Amazon math, like “Day Of the Jackal,” in 1971, “The Eagle Has Landed,” in 1975, and “Eye of the Needle,” in 1978,” it remains one of the standards of […]

Book Review – “Deadly Stillwater” suspense fiction by Roger Stelljes

June 19, 2014 by William F. Brown

Deadly Stillwater is the third book of what is currently a five-book series of police, action-adventure suspense fiction set in St. Paul, Minnesota. No doubt, there will be more to come. Although series books are very much in vogue these days; I usually dislike them, because they all-too-often cheat the reader. I feel a story should […]
