Bob Moats
Biography
Detroit area resident, Bob Moats, has been writing short stories and plays for as long as he can remember. He has lost most of his original stories, typed or handwritten, in the numerous moves he has made from his hometown of Fraser, Michigan to Northern Michigan, to Las Vegas and back to Fraser, where he now lives. Moats became one of the causalities of unemployment a year ago, and had time on his hands to finally pursue a life long dream of writing a full blown crime novel. Thus was born the first book, "Classmate Murders".
What followed was a series of seven books starting with "The Classmate Murders" which introduces the main character, Jim Richards, who has to admit he has become a senior citizen, reluctantly. Richards, one day, receives an email from a childhood sweetheart asking for his help, but by the time he reaches her, she has been murdered. His life turns around and he is pulled into numerous murders of women from his high school who he hasn't seen in forty years. Along with a friend of his, Buck, a big, mustached biker, they go off to track down the killer before he can get to one former classmate, Penny Wickens, a TV talk show host who Jim has just fallen for while protecting her. The killer is also murdering the women right out from under police protection, driving homicide detective Will Trapper crazy, and he slowly depends on Jim to help. There's humor, suspense, wild chases across suburban Detroit with cops, classic cars and motorcycle clubs; murder, mayhem, a good amount of romance and a twist ending.
Jim and his crime fighters, continue in the other books, traveling to Las Vegas twice, back to Detroit and out to New York to solve murders involving dominatrix; mistresses; Bridezillas; magic and strip clubs.
Book titles: Classmate Murders; Vegas Showgirl Murders; Dominatrix Murders; Mistress Murders; Bridezilla Murders; Magic Murders; Strip Club Murders and Made-for-TV Murders.

- Cruelty to Innocents
on June 11, 2011
I have known CK Webb and DJ Weaver online for over a year, and I have been waiting for this book to come out as it is their debut novel. I purchased the book and sat back to read. The first few chapters were a bit much to me, mostly about back story of the characters, but once it got into the action, I was impressed. Okay, I usually try to figure out who the criminals are and I have to say I was partially right. The ending was well executed and had a surprise twist that I won't mention so not to spoil your fun. The book was well written and the plot went along easily to the end. One thing I must mention, if you are easily upset about children being kidnapped and brutalized, this book will make you squeamish and force you to think about the possibilities that this could happen to your children. Have tissues handy. However it has a heart and a feel good ending when the bad guys are stopped (can you say sequel?). Definitely worth the read, and it's the first book in this series, so watch for the next.
- Pursued
on Oct. 25, 2011
I've never cared much for romance novels, but after reading "Heaven Falls" by this author, I know how well she can weave a thriller. I received an advance reading copy of this book, "Pursued", and it held my attentions throughout, so I purchased the finished book to enjoy again. From the violent start with a hurricane and the meeting of the hero and heroine, it grabs your attention. Then it continues with the travels around the world by the heroine, in search of a mysterious chalice that possibly hold a power desired by the villains. The plot was plausible and the dialog crisp, driving the story to it's exciting conclusion. In "Heaven Falls" Winslow ties the chapters together with descriptions of essential oils, this book she uses the Tarot, an interesting choice and fascinating to read. The action and scenes change fast so pay attention. You will enjoy this book as I have, well worth the read.
