Antoinette van Heugten, a former international trial lawyer, practiced worldwide for 15 years before writing her debut novel and “USA Today” bestseller, Saving Max. As the daughter of Dutch parents who fought in the resistance during World War II, van Heugten has long had a personal and academic interest in the history of the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, which eventually inspired the plot of her newest thriller, The Tulip Eaters (MIRA Books, November 2013).

THE TULIP EATERS follows Nora de Jong as she returns home from work to find her mother brutally murdered and infant daughter missing. The only clue is the body of a dead stranger, clutching a Luger in his hand. Launching a frantic search for her missing daughter, de Jong is forced to confront the roots of her family’s secret past in World War II, leading her to Amsterdam and causing her own haunting memories to flood back.

For more information, go to Antoinette's website at: www.avhbooks.com.

Shamus Award winning author Paul D. Marks joins host Stephen Campbell for episode number 22 of Murders, Mysteries and Mayhem.

Paul's novel, WHITE HEAT, recently won the 2013 SHAMUS AWARD for the BEST Indie P.I Novel.  The book introduces investigator Duke Rogers in what Publishers Weekly calls a ". . . taut crime yarn set in 1992 against the turmoil of the Los Angeles riots that followed the acquittal of the police officers charged with assaulting motorist Rodney King.... the author ably evokes the chaos that erupted after the Rodney King verdict." 

In this wide ranging interview Paul discusses his book, the Shamus Award process, and he shares an extremely funny story about his acceptance speech.  Then we spend some time discussing the world of Independent publishing as well as Paul's work as a "Script Doctor" in Hollywood.

Host Lori Hays is excited to introduce you to someone new on the horror circuit, Author Robert Friedrich.

A film lover, metal listener and video game enthusiast, Robert joins us on Saturday, November 16th at 10:30 AM CST/11:30 AM EST from Cairo, Egypt.

On his website he tells us "The kind of writings which you will find here is generally known as a horror, sci-fi and other sub-genres. However it is very narrow description.  I like to be challenged with different topics, and I like to write those genres in different perspective.  Not always there is a need to have a clear plot from beginning to end. I like to confuse the reader, to encourage him/her to search the details etc.

I like to ignite your thirst for more, I like when people who read my stories are going to read it again. Simply because they can always find something what they didn’t notice before.  A melody, hidden verse or specific description, maybe a shocking opinion but for sure highly imaginative and emotional experience."

This is definitely going to be a conversation worth tuning in for!
