a review by Elizabeth White “Lil, you got some dark thoughts runnin’ through your head. I understand why they’re there, but you got to push them away when they start crowdin’ in on you. Otherwise they’ll take over.” – Jesse Robb Still reeling from the devastating events that occurred in series debut The Damage Done, [...]

Way back in 2008 when I was at Bleak House Books and the economy was making like Evel Knievel over the cliff, I decided to give away books for the holidays. We tried the same thing last year with Tyrus and it was a wonderful experience. Because we’re running the same program this year, I’m [...]

Thank you for inviting me to the Tyrus Books Guest House. It’s a great place for reading and writing and I intend to return often. I’m the author of three humorous mysteries published by Tor Books: “Boca Knights”, 2009, “Boca Mournings”, 2010 and Boca Daze, being released January 31, 2012. I’m also excited to announce [...]
If you’re reading this, you probably already know that Tyrus Books is one of the good guys. Ben’s dedication to rooting out fantastic stories and connecting them with readers is admirable. He understands that reading is neither a race nor a competition, but rather a journey that we’ll never, thankfully, complete. And me? I’m a [...]

I’d like to thank Tyrus books for inviting me to their Guest House today. I’m not here to talk about myself, but for courtesy’s sake, a little about me. I was born in Nutley New Jersey, the quaint sheltered suburb from which Martha Stewart sprang like a decorating demon in a cloud of brimstone and [...]
First, let me thank Tyrus Books for including me in their fabulously warm and cozy Guest House. I promise to try my best not to leave coffee rings on the dining room table. I’ll begin by telling you a bit about myself. I grew up in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, the middle child of five siblings. [...]

By David Montgomery- I once called Ken Bruen “the dark poet of contemporary noir” (yes, I’m quoting myself — sue me) and his latest novel, Headstone, confirms that his status is unchallenged. This is a fascinating, powerful and, yes, dark crime novel that only enhances Bruen’s already amazing reputation. Irish private eye Jack Taylor is [...]
First, congratulations to Tyrus Books on their new website! And thank you to Ben LeRoy for welcoming me to be part of it. What Ben probably doesn’t know is that I’ve been a fan of Tyrus Books for a while – even entered a contest once and won a book (Stein, Stoned by Hal Ackerman…loved [...]

BRYON QUERTERMOUS Lately it seems like most of the news and predictions surrounding the publishing industry are people taking anecdotal evidence and using it to make broad, sweeping pronouncements. I’d rather just read the anecdotes myself and draw my own conclusions. And in that spirit, here’s an anecdote of my own about the Kindle. I’ve [...]
First things first, I want to thank Tyrus Books so much for giving me this opportunity. As an author still trying to find his footing in the world of publishing and getting noticed, it’s nice to be featured so prominently with Tyrus, a publisher whose output has been consistently great. I guess I’ve always been [...]
Everybody has been talking about Frank Bill’s debut collection of short stories, Crimes in Southern Indiana. It’s THE buzz book (in a true sense of the word, not manufactured). I had a chance to meet the guy at Bouchercon and I’ve got nothing but good things to say about him. And I’m not the only [...]
Here are more details to the offer I made on Twitter. If Jeff Shelby’s LIQUID SMOKE is the #1 book in the Amazon Kindle store (free) by the end of the day (6 p.m. CST) on Monday, October 3rd, I will make an announcement to collect names. One of those names will get a book [...]
