Something for Everyone!


The claim that a collection of books has "Something for Everyone" wouldn't be unique to this blog post. But with everything from Romance to Fantasy to Mystery (and even a book to help you practice your Morse Code!), this one has to come close.

And don't miss the first two books of the Mind Sleuth Series - Of Half a Mind, an Indie BRAG Medallion winner, and Mind in the Clouds, a Finalist in the Wishing Shelf Book awards. They'll keep you turning the pages.

One week remains in the 99-cent sale of Killer in the Retroscape




“Many sci-fi books are outlandish and demand significant suspension of disbelief on the part of the reader. Not so with Perrin. In Killer in the Retroscape, he has created a futuristic world in the 2060s which, while it can be mind-boggling, offers a genuine sense of how the technology of today might develop by 2060.”

Dark Crime Fiction in the Past, Present, and Future?


Past and present, OK. Crime noir involves morally ambiguous characters and a focus on the darker aspects of human nature. 

But the future? What are the psychological motivations behind crime in, say, 2068 as in Killer in the Retroscape? As one reviewer put it, “As the mystery unravels, more information about the high-tech world they live in is revealed, some of it good, but some of it very scary.” Dark may be dark, even in the future.

Killer in the Retroscape is on sale for 99 cents in September


Killer in the Retroscape was written in 2018, two years before the COVID pandemic. By coincidence, the book starts with a pandemic, which led one reviewer to say, “… the extraordinary thing for me is how closely Perrin anticipated the effects of a pandemic on the population ... social distancing, lockdowns, masks, and all the other precautions people were forced to take in 2020 – 2021. He even predicted the scams and profiteering that have been so much a feature of our own pandemic.”

But as several other reviewers noted, “We all better hope the author wasn't prescient with that final 2%. A must-read, in these strange times!”

Don't believe that police work will change much in the future?

I can't say that I'd agree.



Check out this collection of whodunits from the past, present, and future.

And while you're at it, select my entry to this group, Killer in the Retroscape, and use the "Read sample" button under the picture of the cover on Amazon to see a different opinion; you don't even need to buy the book (although I hope you will). The subchapter, Late Morning, April 5, 2068, will provide some ideas about how technology might revolutionize investigative work from photographs to interrogation.

How About Some Arresting KU Books?

That is, books that will capture and hold your attention as opposed to capturing and holding you in jail! (Sorry, that's bad even for a dad joke.)

But seriously, check out the collection below since one arresting cover may hold a manuscript from your next favorite author.
