P.S. Want to find out exactly what a Toastmaster does at Left Coast Crime does? Stay tuned!

Matt Coyle is the author of the best-selling Rick Cahill crime novels. He knew he wanted to be a crime writer when he was fourteen and his father gave him the simple art of murder by Raymond Chandler.

Writing at night for over a decade his debut novel, Yesterday’s Echo, was finally published in 2013. The wait was almost worth it as it won the Anthony Award for Best First Novel, the San Diego Book Award for Best Mystery, the Ben Franklin Award for Best New Voice in Fiction.

Matt lives in San Diego with his yellow Lab, Angus, where he is writing his seventh crime novel.

Sparkling with personality, lawyer, country music songwriter, singer and author Tim Cagle stopped by Authors on the Air to discuss his wonderful life of adventure, interests and hard work. Authors on the Air Host Pam Stack welcomes attorney, musician and writer TOIM CAGLE to the studio.

He is also the author of Whispers From The Silence, a novel based on his experiences writing songs and his career as a singer/songwriter. His biggest regret in life is that he did not spend more time concentrating on guitar riffs, lyrical hooks and finger-popping melodies, and less time , blistering cross-examination techniques and expert witness fee schedules.

Evans is on the verge of bankruptcy when he gets the case of a lifetime. A teenage basketball star’s heart stops during a game. The premier cardiac surgeon in Boston, Dr. Roger Ashworth, implants a pacemaker. Then, the boy has a stroke and is left with permanent brain damage. Ashworth’s lawyers keep Evans besieged by their scorch the earth strategy. Outgunned, Ace asks old friend, college football teammate and legendary attorney Jake Skylar, to help him. An engineer claims the pacemaker was defective, but he’s killed in a fiery crash. A cardiologist agrees to testify for the boy but she gets indicted for fraud. The judge, an avowed enemy of Evans, throws out all their key evidence.

On the eve of trial, Skylar is blinded by an attack and almost dies. Evans tries to delay the case but is thrown in jail.

When all seems lost, their private investigator uncovers a dark secret of unspeakable evil, one that will blow the lid off the case. Proving that secret is the only way they can win. But first, they have to stay alive.
