Summary

Tales of Crime & Violence are a collection of three books of my short, and not so short stories.
The ideas and inspiration are many and as varied as each of the individual tales themselves.
Although all the stories in these books are about committing crime, or being involved in acts of violence, the real story is of the people involved, why and how they came to be in this position, whether they were forced or coerced, willing participants or victims themselves.
Are they committing the crime, or are they simply the victims... sometimes it is not so easy to tell.
Available since: 12/19/2023.
Print length: 84 pages.

    If you want your characters to seduce like an interrogator, dominate like a profiler, and manipulate like an intelligence officer—you’re on the right track. 
    Cops, Detectives, FBI agents, CIA operatives (if you ever get the rare chance to meet one), and top criminal attorneys—they’re more than just power players in sexy uniforms. They carry something deeper. It’s not just the badge, the suit, or the commanding stance—it’s knowledge. The psychological insight. The ability to read a person’s every tell, to spot desire before it’s spoken, to push just enough before pulling back. 
    And that is what makes them so damn irresistible. 
    Now, you can learn their secrets—and use them to write mentally stimulating, pulse-racing erotica. 
    Listen up, lover—I’ve done the research, and I’m bringing you the real secrets of seduction straight from the playbooks of the FBI, CIA, and top interrogators. Because whether you’re breaking down a suspect or breaking down resistance in the bedroom, the tactics are the same. 
    We’re talking: 
    Microexpressions that betray hidden desires. 
    Body language that speaks louder than words. 
    Interrogation tricks that make people spill their dirtiest secrets. 
    And, of course, we’ll be whipping out the cuffs—figuratively and literally. 
    I’m stripping down the secrets of interrogation, body language, and psychological profiling—so you can write seduction like a pro. From the way a gaze lingers to the push-pull of dominance and submission, we’re bringing real law enforcement techniques into the bedroom. 
    So sit back, relax… and let me teach you how to write tension so thick, it leaves your readers begging for release.Vivia Volupta

    Accused of the murder of his former lover, Korean War veteran Sam Monroe is forced to abandon his job as an assistant district attorney and fight to clear his name. 
      
    Sam Monroe thought his steamy love affair with Manhattan socialite Laura Nielson was dead and buried, but when she didn’t show up after unexpectedly calling him late at night and asking to meet, he decides to investigate. He finds her naked on her penthouse balcony, strangled, his dog tags wrapped around her neck. With a bull’s-eye on his back as the prime suspect, Sam begins a search for the killer that reveals Laura’s involvement with several men, some with ties to a well-known crime family. 
      
    As circumstantial evidence mounts against him, the cops close in, especially a heavy-handed rogue patrolman carrying a grudge against Sam and looking for serious payback. Forced to operate in the shadows, he relies on the unofficial help of several coworkers in the DA’s office and Debora Jean Ryan, a private investigator who offers to assist but has an agenda that she refuses to disclose. As they probe Laura’s past looking for clues, they must also figure out Laura’s mysterious trip out west, the death of a young man in New Jersey during her childhood, and who is making attempts on his life. 
      
    From the crime-ridden precincts of Lower Manhattan, the mean streets of Spanish Harlem, and the lofty mansions along Millionaires’ Row, Night in the City is classic crime noir fiction at its best that wonderfully evokes the vibrant world of 1950s New York. Michael McGarrity again proves himself to be one of the most accomplished writers of mysteries working today. 
      
    "[A] sleek noir … Fans of Dashiell Hammett’s The Thin Man will enjoy the echoes peppered throughout this twisty journey through the underbelly of mid-century New York. It’s a hardboiled good time."—Publishers Weekly

Reese knows this town like the back of her hand—but when she teams up with a State police officer, she quickly realizes she’ll have to branch out to other areas, way out of her comfort zone. She will have to learn quickly about all regions of Maine, as she hunts deadly killers wherever they may take her.

    According to the last words of a dying man, the Maltese Falcon was no mere legend: The fabulously jeweled golden bird really existed—still exists, in fact. And Ayesha Ryder is hot on its trail. Rumor says the Falcon conceals clues to the burial place of Harold II, the conquered Anglo-Saxon King of England—and to an artifact of astonishing significance that few besides Ryder would understand. 
     
     
      
    Hunted by Scotland Yard, MI5, and those who seek the Falcon to break up the United Kingdom, Ryder joins forces with Joram Tate, a mysterious librarian with a reputation for turning up things that don't want to be found. Soon Ryder and her handsome, erudite new companion are venturing through lost tombs and ancient abbeys, following a trail left ages ago by the Knights Templar. 
     
     
      
    Ryder knows she's close to a game-changing secret, hidden for a thousand years beneath an English castle. But with ruthless killers waiting in the wings, Ryder must go medieval—to defend her life, her country, and the world as we know it.
