KM is the author of the a new mystery series featuring ex-con Jesse Damon, the first title of which is Steeled for Murder (Musa Publishing, April 2012 ebook formats). And she is giving one of our readers a chance to win a copy; more details below.

KM provided us with an exclusive interview with Jesse Damon, his first since being released from prison.

— ◊ —

Reporter: Thank you for coming to talk with us today, Jesse. Is there anything you'd care to tell us about yourself?

Jesse Damon: Nope.

Reporter: No? Then why did you come?

Jesse: Mr. Ramirez, my parole officer, told me he thought it would be a good idea. Community service kind of thing. When your parole officer tells you he thinks doing something is a good idea, you do it if you're smart.

Reporter: I see. How long have you been on parole?

Jesse: Just a couple of months. It sure beats being locked up.

Reporter: And before that?

Jesse: Well, I was locked up for close to twenty years. Since I was sixteen.

Reporter: Do you mind me asking what the conviction was?

Jesse: Nah. It's pretty common knowledge. I copped a plea. Murder. Possession of a handgun during commission of a felony. Conspiracy.

Reporter: Are you guilty?

Jesse: Well, yeah. I mean, I was convicted.

Reporter: Who did you kill?

Jesse: I didn't really kill anybody. It's complicated. But I'm technically guilty. The dead guy was a drug dealer. I think my older brother killed him. I was outside, lookout.

Reporter: And now?

Jesse: Now I'm on parole. But you know, it's kind of tough to make it out here on the street. I mean, I got a basement apartment—more like a room—and I really lucked out on the job. Midnight shift at a steel fabrication plant. Laborer. Pretty good money, especially for a convict.

Reporter: How are you getting along?

Jesse: I was doing pretty good. But then Mitch, the forklift driver, got himself killed back in the warehouse. You know, once you got one murder conviction, every time somebody gets killed, they come looking for you.

Reporter: Have you got anything you'd like to tell us about that?

Jesse: Nope. Read the book if you want to know.

Reporter: Why do you think KM Rockwood decided to tell your story?

Jesse: Probably because people like me don't get to be in books too much, so our stories never really get out there.

Reporter: Will we be seeing more of you?

Jesse: Yeah. I think there's another book, Fostering Death, coming out in August or something. It's about my old foster mother getting killed. They think I did it. Then around Christmas, there'll be The Buried Biker. My girlfriend's dad is a biker, and this guy in his club gets killed. He's been hitting on my girlfriend, then he raped her, so they think I did that, too. Couple more, maybe, after that.

Reporter: Do you have anything else you'd like to tell us?

Jesse: No. I just want to be left alone.

Breaking News!

This just in: The cover for the next Jesse Damon mystery has just been released, and we have an exclusive preview. Look for it in August from your favorite ebook retailer, or through Musa Publishing.

These jobs, as well as work as a special education teacher in an alternative high school and a GED teacher in county detention facilities, provide most of the background for novels and short stories.

In addition to her Jesse Damon mysteries, she is the author of a new supernatural romantic thriller, Halfbreed Werewolf.

Interrupted Aria by Beverle Graves Myers
A Tito Amato Mystery
Publisher: Poisoned Pen Press

This first mystery to feature the sleuthing opera singer has been available for free from iTunes for about a week now; it is now available in Kindle format as part of Amazon's price match program.

About Interrupted Aria (from the publisher): Venice, 1731. Opera is the popular entertainment of the day and the castrati are its reigning divas. Tito Amato, mutilated as a boy to preserve his enchanting soprano voice, returns to the city of his birth with his friend Felice, a castrato whose voice has failed.

Disaster strikes Tito's opera premier when the singer loses one beloved friend to poison and another to unjust accusation and arrest. Alarmed that the merchant-aristocrat who owns the theater is pressing the authorities to close the case, Tito races the executioner to find the real killer. The possible suspects could people the cast of one of his operas: a libertine nobleman and his spurned wife, a jealous soprano, an ambitious composer, and a patrician family bent on the theater's ruin.

With carnival gaiety swirling around him and rousing Venetian passions to an ominous crescendo, Tito finds that the most astonishing secrets lurk behind the masks of his own family and friends.

Into the Darkest Corner by Elizabeth Haynes
Publisher: Harper

About Into the Darkest Corner (from the publisher): Catherine Bailey has been enjoying the single life long enough to know a catch when she sees one. Gorgeous, charismatic and spontaneous, Lee seems almost too perfect to be true. And her friends clearly agree, as each in turn falls under his spell.

But what begins as flattering attentiveness and passionate sex turns into raging jealousy, and Catherine soon learns there is a darker side to Lee. His increasingly erratic, controlling behavior becomes frightening, but no one believes her when she shares her fears. Increasingly isolated and driven into the darkest corner of her world, a desperate Catherine plans a meticulous escape.

Four years later, Lee is behind bars and Catherine—now Cathy—compulsively checks the locks and doors in her apartment, trusting no one. But when an attractive upstairs neighbor, Stuart, comes into her life, Cathy dares to hope that happiness and love may still be possible … until she receives a phone call informing her of Lee’s impending release. Soon after, Cathy thinks she catches a glimpse of the former best friend who testified against her in the trial; she begins to return home to find objects subtly rearranged in her apartment, one of Lee’s old tricks. Convinced she is back in her former lover’s sights, Cathy prepares to wrestle with the demons of her past for the last time.

Lis Wiehl: Eyes of Justice; Enter to Win a Copy of this Triple Threat Thriller!

Omnimystery News is pleased to offer one of our readers a chance to win a hardcover copy of Lis Wiehl's new "Triple Threat" thriller, Eyes of Justice, courtesy of Media Connect.

This is the fourth entry in this series, which began with Face of Betrayal in 2009.

The Triple Threat Club has solved intense mysteries before … but in Eyes of Justice, this time it's personal.

Cassidy, Allison, and Nicole fight for justice every day-Cassidy as a crime reporter, Nicole with the FBI, and Allison as a federal prosecutor. Together they're a Triple Threat to be reckoned with.

But never have they faced a case so full of blind alleys — or so painfully close to home.

When a devastating turn of events upsets the balance of the Triple Threat team, they discover an ally in a quirky Private Investigator named Olivia. The women vow not to stop until the case is solved and justice is served.

Yet just when it appears the police have the killer in custody, he somehow strikes again. Not knowing who to trust, the Triple Threat women go undercover for an intricate and deadly cat-and-mouse game where nothing can be taken at face value … and nothing will ever be the same.

Lis Wiehl: Keeping Kids Safe at Home and School

Peril can be lurking around every corner, so make sure your children know how to protect themselves from dangerous situations.

These days, keeping kids safe is more complicated than just warning them not to talk to strangers. Criminals can come in all shapes and sizes, and sometimes it's someone who you least suspect who can cause the most trouble.

"Many times, a criminal is hiding behind a warm, friendly smile," says Lis Wiehl, Fox News Analyst.

Wiehl's novels, which deal with society's most dangerous criminals, are informed by her former work as a federal prosecutor and current role as a television journalist covering some of the most heinous crimes. Trained to sniff out the bad guys, she advises all parents to "teach kids about potential dangerous situations and people without frightening them."

Children and parents should keep several tips in mind to prepare for, and help avoid, dangerous circumstances, stresses Wiehl:

• Use the buddy system. When children are walking home from school or going to the park, they should always have at least one friend with them. There is safety in numbers, as children are much less vulnerable when they are not alone.

• Keep an open dialogue. As a parent, it is important to know about your children's new friends. Don't feel like it's overbearing to have an open, honest conversation about the happenings in your children's lives.

• Monitor Internet usage. Children can never be sure who they are associating with online. "Predators are always online searching for vulnerable children," says Wiehl, "You don't have to spy on them. Just keep an eye out. It's parenting."

• Specify safe places. Work with your children to establish "safe havens" for them to go to if they sense trouble while out of the house. These should be places you both are familiar with, like a friend's house or a community center. Also, discuss with your child secure places to play and safe walking routes.

• Teach your children to trust themselves. More often than not, children can tell when a situation doesn't feel right. If your children feel uneasy by their surroundings, they should not ignore those feelings. Teach them to be assertive and remove themselves from situations that feel dodgy.

More information on Lis Wiehl's books can be found online at LisWiehlBooks.com.

Remember, while you can't hide your children from the hazards of the world, you can prepare them to be ready for worst-case scenarios. That could make all the difference in the world.

Natural Causes by James Oswald
An Anthony McLean Mystery
Publisher: DevilDog Publishing

About Natural Causes (from the publisher): When Edinburgh police find the killer of a prominent city elder less than twenty-four hours after the crime, they are justifiably pleased. So the murderer has killed himself; that just saves the time and cost of a trial. But a second murder days later bears haunting similarities to the first, even though once more the murderer swiftly confesses and kills himself.

Detective Inspector Anthony McLean is investigating the discovery of a dead girl, walled up in the basement of an old Edinburgh mansion. She has been brutally murdered, her internal organs removed and placed around her in six preserving jars. The evidence suggests this all happened over sixty years ago, an attempt to re-enact an ancient ceremony that by trapping a demon in the dead girl’s body would supposedly confer immortality on the six men who took one of her organs each.

McLean’s grandmother – the woman who raised him after his parents were killed when he was a young boy – dies after months in a coma following a stroke. On top of this he has to investigate a series of unusual, violent suicides and a cat-burglar who targets the homes of the recently dead. But as another prominent Edinburgh businessman is killed, he begins to suspect that there may be a connection between the murders, the suicides and the ritual killing of the girl found in the basement. The same names keep cropping up. He just can’t find a rational explanation as to how that connection works.

As he digs deeper, and as the coincidences stack up, McLean is forced to consider an irrational explanation. Could there really be something evil stalking the city he has sworn to protect? And if so, how on earth can he hope to stop it?

Daniel Radcliffe to Star in Film Adaptation of Horns by Joe Hill

Here's some casting news we missed from earlier in the week …

When we first reported on the film adaptation of the horror/thriller Horns by Joe Hill last year, Shia LaBeouf was identified as the lead.

Now we're learning (via THR) that Daniel Radcliffe is set to star as Ignatius William Perrish, a suspect — the only suspect — in the rape and murder of his girlfriend.

Alexandre Aja will direct a screenplay by Keith Bunin.

"After reading Joe Hill's cult book, I couldn't resist temptation to dive into the devilish underworld and reinvent a universal myth," Aja said. "Horns is a wild ride of sin and crime, with a love story in its heart."

In the book, Ig thought at first the horns were a hallucination, the product of a mind damaged by rage and grief. He had spent the last year in a lonely, private purgatory, following the death of his beloved, Merrin Williams, who was raped and murdered under inexplicable circumstances. A mental breakdown would have been the most natural thing in the world. But there was nothing natural about the horns, which were all too real.

Once the righteous Ig had enjoyed the life of the blessed: born into privilege, the second son of a renowned musician and younger brother of a rising late-night TV star, he had security, wealth, and a place in his community. Ig had it all, and more — he had Merrin and a love founded on shared daydreams, mutual daring, and unlikely midsummer magic.

But Merrin's death damned all that. The only suspect in the crime, Ig was never charged or tried. And he was never cleared. In the court of public opinion in Gideon, New Hampshire, Ig is and always will be guilty because his rich and connected parents pulled strings to make the investigation go away. Nothing Ig can do, nothing he can say, matters. Everyone, it seems, including God, has abandoned him. Everyone, that is, but the devil inside …

Now Ig is possessed of a terrible new power to go with his terrible new look — a macabre talent he intends to use to find the monster who killed Merrin and destroyed his life. Being good and praying for the best got him nowhere. It's time for a little revenge … It's time the devil had his due …

The Neon Rain by James Lee Burke: A First in Series MystereBook

The Neon Rain by James Lee Burke. A Dave Robicheaux Mystery. First Appearance: March 1987.

James Lee Burke had already written five novels before The Neon Rain was published. It was actually the second book in the series we read, the first being Black Cherry Blues, which in 1993 — the year we read it — had just won an Edgar Award for Best Novel. We were so taken with the character that we sought out the previous two books and have been fans ever since. (We're lucky enough to have hardcover first editions of all of Burke's early books in the series.)

Two of the Dave Robicheaux mysteries have been adapted for film. The first in 1996 was Heaven's Prisoners, the second in the series, which starred Alec Baldwin as the Cajun cop. We liked it more than most people, based on some of the reviews and scores we've seen, but think the most serious problem was the casting of Baldwin as Robicheaux.

Much later, in 2009, Tommy Lee Jones was cast as Robicheaux in an adaptation of the sixth book in the series, In the Electric Mist with the Confederate Dead. (The movie title was shortened to In the Electric Mist.) Here the casting seems spot on, with Jones capturing a lot of what's right about the character. We enjoyed this film quite a bit, saying in our review, "The performances are uniformly outstanding, the direction crisp, the bayou scenes dripping with atmosphere, and the plot intricate without being confusing."

But it all started with The Neon Rain. Pocket Books is currently offering this first in series ebook title for just $3.99. If you haven't read any of Burke's Dave Robicheaux books, there's no better time to start. (The 14th in the series, Creole Belle, is published this coming Tuesday, July 17th.)

The Neon Rain
James Lee Burke
A Dave Robicheaux Mystery (ebook)

Pocket Books, July 2010

Also available: Hardcover, Trade Paperback, Audible Audio formats

Detective Dave Robicheaux has fought too many battles: in Vietnam, with killers and hustlers, with police brass, and with the bottle. Lost without his wife's love, Robicheaux's haunted soul mirrors the intensity and dusky mystery of New Orleans' French Quarter — the place he calls home, and the place that nearly destroys him when he becomes involved in the case of a young prostitute whose body is found in a bayou. Thrust into the world of drug lords and arms smugglers, Robicheaux must face down a subterranean criminal world and come to terms with his own bruised heart in order to survive.
