If you didn't find what you were looking for, try a new search!
The game's afoot this September with thrilling adventure, nail-biting suspense, keen detective work, and more. Perhaps you'll need a private eye on the case or follow police procedural to the letter. What's certain, while authors work hard at crime solving, when September draws to an end, all of our cases will be closed!

Winter is upon us, and things are looking pretty bleak outside the window. Here in the northwest corner of the U.S., it's like we invented our own Instagram filter called NorthWest Gothic. The skies are gray and low, winds bluster up out of nowhere, and blackberry bushes reach their skeletal arms closer and closer to the back porch. A dark, moody and claustrophobic theme settles over the landscape. And yet there are so many things to be thankful for. Being together with family and friends. Having a good meal and a relaxing evening (or not if you're participating in NaNoWriMo and you're behind in your word count). Being...indoors. At Chanticleer we are most thankful for books and literacy.
