Author’s Take on Jack the Ripper
Stefan Petrucha’s new book, Ripper, was released in March. 
The author is currently running a contest on Goodreads, where he will give away six copies of Ripper. Click here to enter the contest, which ends April 28.
Here is the book’s description from Amazon, “Carver Young dreams of becoming a detective, despite growing up in an orphanage with only crime novels to encourage him. But when he is adopted by Detective Hawking of the world famous Pinkerton Agency, Carver is given not only the chance to find his biological father, he finds himself smack in the middle of a real life investigation: tracking down a vicious serial killer who has thrown New York City into utter panic. When the case begins to unfold, however, it’s worse than he could have ever imagined, and his loyalty to Mr. Hawking and the Pinkertons come into question. As the body count rises and the investigation becomes dire, Carver must decide where his true loyalty lies. Full of whip-smart dialogue, kid-friendly gadgets, and featuring a then New York City Police Commissioner Teddy Roosevelt, Ripper challenges everything you thought you knew about the world’s most famous serial killer.”

A New Book Imprint Debuted at the Beginning of February
This entry originally appeared on author and NEHW member, Jan Kozlowski’s blog at the beginning of February.
Die, You Bastard! Die! & Ravenous Shadows Launch Today!
by Jan Kozlowski
It’s Launch Day! It’s Launch Day!
Ravenous Romance’s new horror/mystery/thriller imprint, Ravenous Shadows, headed by horror legend John Skipp, debuted today.
In an interview with Publisher’s Weekly, Literary Partners CEO Holly Schmidt said, “It was always our plan to expand our business model to other fiction genres, and when we had the opportunity to work with John Skipp, we decided to start with horror/mystery/thrillers. Skipp provided us with a clear vision and strong point of view for the line, and really is the heart and soul of Ravenous Shadows.”
From Editor in Chief, John Skipp- “Welcome to Ravenous Shadows: a new line of startling, provocative genre fiction, dedicated to the proposition that short, powerful novels and novellas can pack as much punch, personality, and plot as books three times their size.”
The four novels launching the line are:
House of Quiet Madness by Mikita Brottman – an Ira Levin style mystery
- Tribesmen by Adam Cesare – an ultra violent 80’s style Italian cannibal horror
The Devoted by Eric Shapiro – a Hitchcockian take on a modern suicide cult
Die, You Bastard! Die! by Jan Kozlowski – a sexual abuse/revenge story somewhere between Misery and Last House on the Left.
All the gorgeous, kick ass cover art was done by the fabulous Paula Rozelle Hanback.
