Hahn and Frank Morales Case Files Book 2
These
ten short stories feature some of the homicide cases investigated by
the South Side Precinct’s best homicide detectives Turner Hahn and
Frank Morales.
In
this riveting collection, you'll find cases of murder, revenge,
greed, and insanity, with a hint of the supernatural thrown in as a
bonus.
Discussion on
writing a short-story.
I like writing
mysteries. But more than that, I like writing mysteries filled with interesting
characters and puzzling cases. So the procedure, for me, is simple.
Begin with a murder
in the most unusual situation and/or set of circumstances--and then introduce
the main character or characters who are--hopefully--going to solve the case.
After the initial set-up is done, its both the author and reader trying to
figure out who did it together. In the beginning, I have no clue who or how the
crime was done. As I am writing, I am playing off the odd clues I throw into
the pile of clues found in the story, but more importantly--it is the wit and
thoughts each of my two homicide detectives throw at each other which furthers
the story along.
I know--it may very
well be the worst way to write a short-story. Or a novel, for that matter. But
that's the way I do it. So sit back and enjoy. I think you'll like the ride.

Stateham is a fourteen-year-old boy trapped in a seventy-one-year-old
body. But his enthusiasm and boyish delight in anything
mysterious and/or unknown continue.
Writing
novels, especially detectives, is just the avenue of escape which
keeps the author’s mind sharp and inquisitive. He’s
published a ton of short stories in online magazines like Crooked,
Darkest Before the Dawn, Abandoned Towers, Pulp Metal Magazine,
Suspense Magazine, Spinetingler Magazine, Near to The Knuckle, A
Twist of Noir, Angie’s Diary, Power Burn Flash, and Eastern
Standard Crime. He writes both detective/mysteries, as well as
science-fiction and fantasy.
