ISLAND WILDLIFE: EXILES, EXPATS AND EXOTIC OTHERS

Posted by Daniel S. on Friday, March 2, 2018, In : New Book Release 

     Visitors to the Solimar Guest House in Puerto Rico are experiencing more than sun, sand and sea. They are grappling with ways—often quirky and manic, sometimes violent or profane, but always in what they consider the sincerest terms—to straighten out their off-kilter lives.


     The adventures of the island locals, the political exiles and the ex-pats born, raised in and fleeing from the U.S. are played out in different parts of the island—from the seaside guest house to the...

THINGS HEAT UP IN THE SOLAR TRIANGLE

Posted by Daniel S. on Friday, July 7, 2017, In : New Book Release 
Authoring a book like THE SOLAR TRIANGLE (Savant 2017) about Koski and Falk, is a stroll down memory lane with fictional action and some punchy lines added. The saying 'nihil novi sub sole' ('there's nothing new under the sun') from the Biblical Book of Ecclesiastes, never rang so true with this, their sixth adventure. Weather control, or more specifically, solar energy control, has ancient roots. 


The Greek philosopher Plato wrote about the lost continent of Atlantis in two of his books, TIMA...

THE GUMSHOE - A 1940s NOIR DETECTIVE STORY EXTRAORDINAIRE

Posted by Daniel S. on Monday, February 13, 2017, In : New Book Release 

Chicago, 1947. Private investigator "Matt" McBride runs afoul of corrupt politicians, vicious mobsters  and a trigger-happy Texan femme fatale to prove that the "suicide" of his best friend was murder.  Matt's perilous journey to track down the killer nearly dead-ends in a motor home on a collision course with a cargo plane.


"Fun as it was to write THE GUMSHOE (Savant 2017), researching the story was quite challenging," says Rose. "Since I didn't have H. G. Wells' time machine to whisk me back...

Author Richard Rose talks about the evolution of THE LAZARUS CONSPIRACIES

Posted by Daniel S. on Monday, September 16, 2013, In : New Book Release 

When I first conceived the idea for The Lazarus Conspiracies, I wrote it as a film script under the title “The Lazarus Project.” The script tells the story of a maverick Chicago cop who is so obsessed with seeing justice done that he repeatedly breaks the rules of police conduct in order to catch the bad guys. The script was a top ten finalist in the Illinois/Chicago Screenwriting 2000 Competition.

A few years later I decided to expand the script into a novel. In the process, the character...

ENOUGH DELIGHTFUL CRAZINESS EVEN FOR "THE LOONS"

Posted by Daniel S. on Tuesday, October 30, 2012, In : New Book Release 
Back in the 1930s, Americans would struggle to part with twenty-five cents in order to spend part of an afternoon at the movies trying to forget the Great Depression and the uncertain times outside the theater. Screwball comedies provided the antidote to their desolation in this difficult time in our history.



In THE LOONS (Savant 2012), I've recreated the spirit of laughable chaos reminiscent of the screwball comedies of the thirties with an eccentric family of seven DeLune cousins that neighb...

THE BAHRAIN CONSPIRACY Hits the Streets!

Posted by Daniel S. on Wednesday, March 24, 2010, In : New Book Release 
I am thoroughly excited about the release of THE BAHRAIN CONSPIRACY. No other novel describing terrorist activities has even considered the heinous scheme depicted in the novel, yet it is an entirely possible plan. That is what makes it so thrilling; the realism, the threat, the on-going war against terrorism contributes to the believability of the story.



I know readers will identify with the impulsive Lt. Rob Anderson who learns how to control expressing his emotions as well as the unusual,...
