Christmas mysteries have appeared regularly in EQMM’s December or January issues over the years. A frequent contributor of those stories is New York Times best-selling author Steve Hockensmith, whose Edgar-nominated Amlingmeyer Brothers series first saw print in our pages. Last year, his EQMM Christmas tale was an entry in the Amlingmeyer Brothers series. Here he is reading that story, entitled “My Christmas Story,” from our January/February 2019 issue. https://www.stevehockensmith.com https://www.purple-planet.com

He's written several series, including the "Holmes on the Range" mystery/Western hybrids and three tarot-themed whodunnits. He's also a prolific writer of mystery short stories, having appeared in Ellery Queen and Alfred Hitchcock magazines dozens of times. We also highlight two books we are currently reading. An American Family: A Gripping Contemporary Suspense Drama by Jackson Baer. and The Trial of Lizzie Borden by Cara Robertson. The remarkable new account of an essential piece of American mythology—the trial of Lizzie Borden—based on twenty years of research and recently unearthed evidence.

Dr Gay Hendricks has reached the pinnacles of book promotion - on Oprah no less - talking about one of his thirty five personal growth best sellers Conscious Loving - so why was he inspired to create a mystery series starring a Tibetan monk turned PI called Tenzing? Hi there, I'm your host Jenny Wheeler and today Gay explains why most of us live dissatisfied lives, what he enjoys most about writing fiction, and how the radical adventures he had in Tibet as a younger man influence his work today.. Six things you'll learn from this Joys of Binge Reading episode: How a night of insomnia got him writing His remarkable mediation discipline How his collaboration on the Ten mysteries came about The Netflix deal that will bring Ten to TV The writers he most admires And the secret to a truly satisfying life Where to find Gay Hendricks  Website: http://rules-of-ten.com/ and https://www.hendricks.com/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/gayhendricks/  Twitter: @GayHendricks What follows is a "near as" transcript of our conversation, not word for word but pretty close to it, with links to important mentions. Jenny: But now, here's Gay. .  Hello there Gay and welcome to the show, it's great to have you with us. Gay: Thank you very much, it's a treat to be here with you Jenny. Gay Hendricks - The Rule of Ten mysteries Jenny: Beginning at the beginning  - Why write a detective series? You've had a such a very successful career as a psychologist, writer, and university teacher in the field of personal growth, and you've founded the  Hendriks Institute. Was there a “Once Upon a Time” catalyst that sparked five Tenzing Norbu books? (Five and a half if you include the prequel….) Gay: Well I think it really started over fifty or sixty  years ago when I first fell in love with Sherlock Holmes and the mysteries of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. I read so many of them in the eighth and ninth grade- I remember my eighth and ninth grade English teacher started calling me Sherlock because I always walked into class with a copy of Sherlock under my arm! I was just totally in love with that kind of a mystery. Maybe I even started thinking back then that I wanted to start writing a mystery of my own someday. I've been a big mystery fan all my life - I don't know how many mysteries and thrillers I've read, it must be hundreds of them by now! But I always look forward to a good mystery novel. What happened was, one night I woke up one time- about seven years ago now- and I woke up in the middle of the night, just lying there trying to think of what I might do to go back to sleep. I started reading the mystery novel that was over by the side of my bed, but I didn't want to turn on the light because I didn't want to disturb my wife. The First Rule of Ten - Gay Hendricks So I decided to make up a mystery novel of my own in my head, just as a way to entertain myself. So I started doing it, and it became so fascinating to me that I just had to start writing it down! So my mystery novel career kind of came out of a night of insomnia one time, and wanting to try and get something done in the middle of the night! Jenny: It's amazing how many mystery writers I've talked to who have been inspired by reading Sherlock Holmes as a young person! Steve Hockensmith said exactly the same and he has written a number of books setting Sherlock in the West. . . . Tenzing Norbu has been described by one reader as launching a new mystery sub- genre - that of the  "Mindful PI." Did you have any models in mind for him when you started? Gay: No, actually I decided I wanted to create something brand new if possible, which was a whole new type of Private Investigator. I read Robert Crais all the time- in fact I just finished a Robert Crais novel about a week ago. I love his stuff. But it's really a different kind of genre. His hero is often a wise cracking kind of guy. My hero has a good sense of humour,

Four established authors take the mystery out of writing mysteries. Whether inspired by real life (like Dr. Ellen Kirschman), folklore (like Vidar Sundstol with his epic tales involving Nordic superstition), deeply-hidden family secrets, (like Wendy Hornsby's filmmaker sleuth uncovers), or humor, mixups, and disasters (see: Steve Hockensmith), these hard-boiled mystery writers will clue you in on what makes a suspenseful “whodunit?”

Steve Hockensmith has written two very different mystery series that have garnered awards as well as a loyal fan base. In the first, two cowboy brothers roam the wild West of the 1890s,  saddled up Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson amidst the tumbleweed, solving murders as they ride the range. In the second, a reformed con artist inherits her mother's tarot card salon and finds lots of dirty secrets come with the bequest. You can listen on the link above or on iTunes or Stitcher. Keep reading to hear what inspired Steve to set Sherlock Holmes in the West and why he like mysteries more than thrillers. Read on for full show notes and a transcript of the conversation. Show Notes Summary In this interview you'll discover: When Steve first decided the detective Sherlock Holmes was his buddy. What inspired his idea of a Gustav as a cowboy Sherlock Holmes. Why - like Bruce S - he loves working class heroes. The reason his "cosy" mysteries aren't all that cosy. Why he enjoys mysteries more than thrillers. Steve's binge reading habits: youthful embarrassments and what's exciting him now. For more detail, a full transcript follows:  A "close as" rendering of our full conversation. Steve can be found at www.stevehockensmith.com And on Facebook and Twitter https://www.facebook.com/steve.hockensmith.7 Twitter @MrHockensmith And now to Steve:  Hello there Steve, and welcome to the show. It's great to have you with us. In your series Holmes on the Range you put two fairly hard scrabble cowboy brothers with a tragic past into slapstick situations where they manage to keep their heads when all around them are losing theirs. Gustav's obsession for the great detective's deductive reasoning methods shines through all the fun and games and I'm wondering . . . Tell me, was there ONCE UPON A TIME when you as a young boy or young man just loved Sherlock Holmes? Oh yes absolutely. I mean  there was a time when I didn't love Sherlock Holmes, which didn't mean I hated him. He was always there in the background, I would encounter him in pop culture, and  he seemed fine, but it wasn't until I got to the age of about 12 that I realised my Dad was a very big Sherlock Holmes fan. I guess maybe it's not until you're about 12 years old that you pay attention to what your parents think about anything other than when it's time to come in and eat. So I became aware of the fact that my Dad had this book on his mantelpiece The Complete Sherlock Holmes although you couldn't read the spine when it was up on the shelf because he read it every year and it was taped together with duct tape. So it was like "Oh look there's a Sherlock Holmes book there and Dad is really into it."  I think I had a book report to do for class and it was one of those book reports where you got to read whatever you wanted.  I pulled down the about to fall apart Sherlock Holmes and read The Hound of the Baskervilles, which is a great place to start. When I got a little older the Jeremy Brett Granada adaptation came on TV so I felt I knew Sherlock Holmes but those shows cemented it for me. They made me feel like  "I know who this guy is, I really like this guy, he is a buddy of mine," and its been like that ever since. Jenny: How did it the idea for the Holmes On The Range books come about? Steve: It came about in one walk through the woods with my wife of an hour or so - I'm a pretty bad hiker so it mightn't have even been an hour - so maybe 55 minutes that I was  out hiking in beautiful woods on Mount Tamalpais in Marin County in California where we were living at the time, There were not a lot of cars or buildings or planes around, so you had room to free up your mind and think.  My mind always drifts back to the past and to wonder what were people thinking 100 years ago or 400 years ago walking through this very area. Also, there was one thing that was on my mind, there is a magazine over here, Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine,

As long as we're waiting, why don't I tell you a little story? You look like the kind of man who could profit by it. Don't take offense, now. I meant that as a compliment. You remind me of me, that's all. I'm a cowhand myself. Or was, anyway. I've been up and down the Chisholm Trail so many times I could walk it blindfolded from Brownsville to Abilene. | 2014 by Steve Hockensmith. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki.
