About meI write "Noir Bizarre" stories, mixing elements of the crime/mystery and supernatural/fantasy genres. Blame it on an unhealthy fascination with "The Night Stalker" and "Rod Serling's Night Gallery" as a child.

WAKING LAZARUS, my debut novel, released in Summer of 2006. To my surprise and delight, it was named one of the "Top 25 Genre Novels of the Year" by Library Journal.

My second, THE DEAD WHISPER ON, released in hardcover Summer of 2007 (Trade Paperback April 2008), fulfilling my lifelong desire to write a novel featuring both living shadows and spontaneous human combustion.

My third novel, THE UNSEEN, released Fall of 2008.

A few interesting facts/tidbits about me:

• My long list of past odd jobs includes trimming Christmas trees, sorting seed potatoes, selling strawberries, and cleaning cadaver storage rooms.

• As a teen, I was undefeated in air guitar competitions (a record of 3-0), in which I performed songs by ZZ Top. No, really.

• I enjoy pudding.

About my libraryThis isn't an exhaustive list--just the books I've read in the recent past that have stuck in my mind for one reason or another.

I write fiction, so I read fiction. I'll crack open just about anything, but I tend to gravitate toward supernaturally-tinged stories and crime/mystery/noir.

May I recomend a book you might enjoy based on your interest in "Noir/Bizarre": "The Shadow of the Wind" by Carlos Ruiz Zafon. And of course there's "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. If you haven't already read them, I think you would enjoy both of them. Keep up with your writing....

Hi TL, just wanted you to know that I read your book "Waking Lazarus" last summer(it finally came out in paperback at Costco) and absolutely loved it! I was intrigued by the plot and the characters and was surprised right up to the end. In fact I had to go back and reread a few pages just to make sure I hadn't missed anything. Keep up the good work. Am looking forward to your next one. Thanks for your encouragement. Polly

"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds, your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties, and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be".

- Patanjali

I will check out your books and watch for the one coming out this fall.

Thank you for your interest. I'm ashamed to say that I haven't read Waking Lazarus yet. I noticed it in Costco in hardback but was waiting for the paperback version. I'll keep looking or maybe even check it out at the public library. I like to mark in books so the library is not my first choice. Have heard many good things regarding your novel, did not realize you lived here in Billings. Best of luck and thank you again for including me as your friend. I am honored. Polly

Excellent library, Mr. Hines. I read your novel Waking Lazarus and I must say, it's one of my favorites! Can't wait for The Dead Whisper On! Keep up the good work.
