© 2013 Robert J. Mendenhall Favorite Local Authors Robert J. Mendenhall’s Links Recommendations For Readers Resources For Writers Michael A. Black--Crime Fighter and Crime Writer A former Army MP and thirty years as a south-suburban Chicago cop, Mike’s been around the criminal justice block. And he’s been writing about it almost as long, with over forty articles and thirty short stories to his credit. His first novel was published in 2002 and he’s had a book out every year since. SACRIFICIAL OFFERINGS is just one of his many series. He currently has two novels out with Law and Order SVU star Richard Belzer. Check them out at Mike’s web site: http://www.michaelablack.com/index.html And if you think they’re good by themselves, see what happens when they collaborate! In DEAD RINGER, Black’s Ron Shade and Hyzy’s Alex St James find their two separate cases may not be separate at all. Too bad for the bad guys! Julie Hyzy can cook. Literally and Literarily Julie’s White House Chef mystery series is a best-seller. With five books already out, titles like AFFAIRS OF STATE and BUFFALO WEST WING leave you, well, hungry for more (sorry!). Check out Julie’s concurrent series, Manor House Mysteries and my personal favorites, her Alex St James novels.
