Stefan is a regular columnist here, and his new book hits shelves October 4. Dead Mann Walking is the first book in a new series. From Stefan’s website:
Just Because You’Re Dead
Doesn’T Mean You Can’T Have A Life…
After Hessius Mann was convicted of his wife’s murder, suppressed evidence came to light and the verdict was overturned — too bad he was already executed.
Thanks to the miracles of modern science Hessius was brought back to life. Sort of. Now that he’s joined the ranks of Fort Hammer’s pulse-challenged population, Hessius attempts to make a “living” as a private investigator.
But when a missing persons case leads to a few zombies cut to pieces, Hessius starts...

NCIS: Los Angeles delivered one of its better episodes of the season so far last night, blending a particularly complex case with some terrific character moments we loved.
"Bounty" took us inside the shady world of terrorist bounty hunters and the military's strange relationship with them. Case in point? The government's huge rewards for bad guys.
Know where Osama's hiding? That info could earn you $25 million, according to the FBI's Most Wanted List. He's #1, of course, but #2-500 still provide handsome paydays.
Trust: It's no issue for these two ... Armenian mob stories notwithstanding.
Last night's victim was an Army special forces officer who retired to collect a $10 million price on a Taliban bomb maker that he couldn't claim as a government employee.
His killer was a Pakistani diplomat who does this for a living, leaning on his immunity to avoid prosecution and connections to gain access and basically work with the military.

Today's Cinematic Birthdays 11/131312 Edward III (of Windsor), not the gay one who gets more cinematic treatment (including Derek Jarman's fascinating take), but his son. This is the one Shakespeare wrote a play about and the one who Mel Gibson implied to be the bastard son of Braveheart William Wallace, thereby giving the finger to history unless Wallace's sperm could survive years past his death. That Gibson's sperm could magically endure beyond the grave is far more likely. He already has eight children.1833 Edwin Thomas Booth, famous influential thespian and the 19th century's most prominent Hamlet. He's been portrayed onscreen and stage by famous thespians like Richard Burton and Frank Langella, usually in stories connected to his estranged brother's assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Will someone play him in the Spielberg helmed Lincoln film?
