Hi,

Here's what John French, Baltimore CSI expert extraordinaire says about his collection of Gray Monk stories Souls on Fire that have just been published:

"Written with a nod to the pulp tradition of The Shadow, Souls on Fire tells of one man's violent crusade for justice and of the cost to him and those around him." Thanks for posting it, John.

John has written many short stories published in several anthologies as well as a novel The Devil in Harbor City.
