Author’s Notes

Welcome to the web site of BV Lawson, author of mystery and non-genre short stories and novels. Take a little time to look around, and drop me an e-mail if you’d like. You can also visit the Mystery Blog, In Reference to Murder.

LATEST NEWS: “The Tradition Thief,” a short story featuring Scott Draycoe, was named a finalist in the genre short story category of the first annual Press 53 Open Awards.

The anthology of short story winners and finalists from the 2007 Deadly Ink Short Story Contest is available now on Amazon.com.  It includes my story “No Good Deed.”

“Sign of the Bear” selected for inclusion in the Northern Haunts anthology to benefit the American Cancer Society. It’s available for purchase on the Shroud Magazine web site.

I have to post a little cross-promotional plug for my blog, In Reference to Murder, which now has over 2,500 links, designed with both mystery readers and mystery writers in mind.

For mystery fans, check out the Bibliographies section, with book and author lists, and the sections for mystery Awards, Blogs, Bookstores, Conferences, Games, Magazines and Newsletters, and Reviews.

For mystery writers, there are sections on links for Agents, Publishers, the Business of Writing, and lots of references to help with research for stories in the Crime Scene Investigation, Crimes by Type, Dictionaries, Forensics, Government and Law, Police Procedures, Private Investigation, and True Crime.

If you find a link you think would be helpful to others, you can pass it along, and it might be included. The List will be updated and added to on a continuing basis.

Stop by and look around awhile, and let me know what you think!
