Talking with Steve Lauden and Eric Beetner for their Writer Types podcast was a blast. Great questions and insights into BLEAK HARBOR (though I cannot vouch for my answers). You can listen here.

As part of my BLEAK HARBOR book tour, I had the pleasure and privilege of sharing a dais with mega-selling thriller author Michael Connelly in Scottsdale, Ariz. More than 200 people–most of them Connelly fans, I’m sure–attended the event hosted by The Poisoned Pen book store. You can watch Mike and I talk about writing and books here.

Robert Anglen, an investigative reporter who moonlights as a book critic for the Arizona Republic, says in BLEAK HARBOR, “Gruley performs a dazzling magic routine worthy of Houdini, each trick dependent upon the next, growing in complexity and intensity until the finale. Think ‘Rashomon’ as told in alternating chapters by Elmore Leonard and George V. Higgins.”

That’s the first and certainly last time my name will appear with those three. I’ll take it! You can read the entire review here.

My favorite line in this excellent review of BLEAK HARBOR by Kristopher Zgorski at BOLOBOOKS.com: “This is an author who is not afraid to go dark.” You can read it here.
