Dead Anyway:

"A thinking man’s mystery and an investigator’s action adventure, Dead Anyway keeps readers glued to the page, reads itself into pitch-perfect dialogue turns the world upside down, and introduces a wonderful wounded genius to carry a brand new series. The twists and turns are clever and neat, the characters memorable and deep, the love interest enticingly believable, and the adventure has just enough slips twixt plot and execution to feel real and dangerous and fun." —Sheila Deeth, Gather.com

"The story is told in a way that makes you forget everything around as you BECOME Arthur. I had a hard time ''switching off'' his voice every time I had to put this novel down. An original and fascinating read!"  Sons of Spade

Dead Anyway is available now from The Permanent Press!




An Unattended Death:

"An Unattended Death has all the twists and turns of a mystery, the finely measured cadences of a police procedural, and the musical sense of character and place of an intricately haunting drama. Evocative and intriguing, it’s an enticing beginning to what promises to be an enjoyable mystery series."  —Sheila Deeth, Gather.com

New Reviews for An Unattended Death

Victoria Jenkins' upcoming novel has received two new positive reviews, including its second starred review!

" Jenkins's series debut holds the reader captive from the first paragraph. Her strong sense of place coupled with the plot's palpable psychological tension makes her police procedural especially arresting." 
--Library Journal, starred review 

"The mystery is interesting and moves along at a cool but steady pace, making it hard to put down. Irene’s straightforwardness and reluctance to change make her refreshingly human. If Ms. Jenkins continues with this character, she’ll have a series that will likely draw loyal followers." --NY Journal of Books

New interview with author Jaden Terrell now up on the 'Author Interview's' page.

Jaden Terrell author of Racing the Devil recently interviewed with Amy Steele from "Entertainment Realm" regarding her latest release A Cup Full of Midnight.

Amy Steele: What appeals to you most about writing mysteries?


Jaden Terrell: I think we often write about things that frighten us or things we don’t understand. In real life, justice isn’t always served. Criminals are released on technicalities. Crimes can go unsolved, and even when they are solved, we’re left wondering why they happened. Mysteries explore both the motivations behind criminal acts and the effects of crimes on the victims and their loved ones. In the conflict between good and evil, good ultimately wins, though often at great cost. It’s reassuring to think there are strong, brave people standing between evil and the rest of us. Writing about Jared, the hero of my private detective series, reminds me that those people exist.
