Promotional ad for the Joel Franklin Mystery series by Ron Finch. Tagline reads: "It was a simpler time. But it was just as deadly." The background shows a revolver, 4 aces, and drops of blood on a table. Around the image are 7 circular thumbnails showing: lightning with the caption "paranormal experiences", a classic car with the caption "dramatic getaways", an ax with the caption "brutal murders", a swamp with the caption "shocking crimes", a portrait of an angry old woman with the caption "vengeful spirits", a burning doorframe with the caption "burning passions", and an evil looking man with the caption "dangerous psychopaths". Another caption on its own reads "a paranormal historical police procedural with a cozy, spooky atmosphere." The books are set in Ontario, Canada, in the 1930s and are available on Amazon.

Anybody else enjoy making maps for their books? I don't think my dad (Ron) understands my obsession with making them. 😭

I love crime fiction and I’ve just read Dangerous by @essiefox.bsky.social which was absolutely fantastic! Set in the brooding atmosphere of 18th century Venice, Lord Byron turns detective to solve a series of gruesome murders. It’s the perfect Gothic thriller and a spine-chilling read!
