Hey. Go get your copy. #vanishinggames #crime #rogerhobbs #newreleases

I recently got to sit down with a friend of mine, AC Fuller, so we could talk about Vanishing Games. In a special, double-length episode of the WRITER 2.0 Podcast, we talked about my new novel, and also touched on: my earliest writing memory; how my agent found me; whose couch I was sleeping on when I found out my debut novel had sold all over the world; the rabbit hole of Amazon reviews; the emptiness at the center of the Ego and how that relates to my breakout novel, Ghostm

Hey, everybody! I'm spending the week here in beautiful Long Beach California to attend this year's world mystery convention, Bouchercon. So far nobody has been murdered, but I'm still hopeful. This crowd of mystery writers would provide for some interesting locked-room mystery hijinks.

By Seeley James (See original interview here) Roger Hobbs’ debut novel Ghostman has been nominated for every major award in the publishing business. I found it one of the best crime novels I’ve ever read, and The New York Times agreed. I hounded Mr. Hobbs for an interview because what amazed me most is: he’s young. Name a famous author and his/her age at their first award. He’s younger. James Patterson published his first book at 49, Lee Child at 43, Mr. Hobbs beat them by h
