For
the first and last weeks of our December break this year we are
show-casing the posts of some of our former contributors, from the
earliest days of the Blood-Red Pencil. Enjoy.
L.J. Sellers contributed to the Blood-Red Pencil in 2010, and then returned as a guest blogger a number of times between 2011 and 2016. She’s an award-winning journalist who earned the Grand Neal.
L.J. writes the bestselling Detective Jackson mystery/thriller series, the Agent Dallas series, and standalone thrillers. Her novels have been highly praised by reviewers, and she’s one of the highest-rated crime fiction authors on Amazon.
L.J. resides in Eugene, Oregon where many of her novels are set. When not plotting murders, she enjoys standup comedy, cycling, social networking, and attending mystery conferences. She’s also been known to jump out of airplanes and hurtle down zip-lines.
A Detective Jackson Mystery #14. When a victim with no ID is found murdered, Detective Jackson believes it’s another hate crime. Soon after, another woman dies of what looks like a possible suicide. But, when they finally identify the first victim, Jackson realizes the cases are connected.
A Detective Jackson Mystery #13. When a woman is murdered with her own food product, Detective Jackson takes the case—even though his brother is hospitalized with a mystery illness. When a second woman with similar looks is strangled, the task force fears they’re dealing with a serial killer. The evidence reveals one obvious connection—Jackson’s brother, Derrick, who had dated both women.
Logan Wilmont dreams of freedom, but he’s trapped in a mental institution where he doesn’t belong, by a mother who wants to keep him quiet. He knows he quirky, but not insane—except for when he sees the other boy who looks just like him.
