Hello world!

Welcome to my brand new blog!

Let me introduce myself.  I’m Kris Sparks, and I write fiction. 

What else?

(Boy, facing this blank “edit post” window is a whole lot like staring at a blank screen at the beginning of a story and wondering where to start.  Maybe this blog wasn’t such a good idea.  I’m starting to feel a little panicky, here.)

Oh… wait… I know!

You probably want to know what I write, right?

Suspense.  Mystery.  Crime fiction.  Things that go bang! crash! boom! in the dead of night.  Bad guys doing bad things.  Good guys doing the best they can. Same for the good and bad girls.  Life’s tough, and sometimes just surviving  counts as a win.

Once I get my bearings around here, I’ll post more about my fiction and where you can find it.  In the meantime, grab a Robert B. Parker or Bill Pronzini novel (two of my favorite writers), and soak up a little atmosphere along with Jesse Stone, Spenser, and Nameless.

Just remember to lock the deadbolt before you start.
