| Author Spotlight“The truly scary part comes when strangers read our works and judge not only the writing, but—quite possibly—the fevered brains that produced it.”This week’s featured author is John Robinson(aka Cameron Bane). Cameron Bane is the nom de plum under which John Robinson writes his dark and humorous crime-thrillers. John has loved writing most of his life and in addition to having written several novels, he has instructed fiction-writing seminars at a nationally-ranked writers conference held outside Santa Fe. The name Cameron Bane came about when John decided to depart from writing inspirational novels of a markedly less dark nature than his newer crime-thrillers. We wanted to know more about this pluralistic character; who is the man behind the writing and where does he come up with this stuff? Lately I’ve been reading some older paperbacks, and the last one I finished is a corker. It’s a mishmosh of genres—science fiction, horror, comedy, tragedy, suspense, even a spiritual subtext—but somehow the author pulls it all together, and the result is a mindbending roller-coaster ride that’s not for the squeamish. In his updated afterword the author addresses the topic of where he got his idea for this one. Everyone from his close friends and loved ones to his editor and agent all said essentially the same thing: “Son, for God’s sakes, what dark corner of your mind did you pull this one out of?” Therein hangs the tale. I think every man-jack (and woman-jill) of us puts some of our “real selves” on the page, whether we set out to or not. The truly scary part comes when strangers read our works and judge not only the writing, but—quite possibly—the fevered brains that produced it. It’s all of a piece, though, and unless one is writing math textbooks, I don’t see any way of us avoiding a little literary nudity… Read John’s full post including his thoughts on adolescent clothing trends and look for PITFALL on July 22. 2. PITFALL Release 3. Ron Franscell’s THE DARKEST NIGHT book signing in Casper true-crime THE DARKEST NIGHT, the vivid account of a night of terror in a small town, in Casper, Wyo., literally the scene of this monstrous crime. The book event will be 1-4pm Saturday, August 8, at Wind City Books, 152 S. Center Street.
