It’s not about me, it’s about The Word.
Who is The Black Rose?
I am an author. I was born an author, although I did not know it until I woke up one morning and had the overwhelming compulsion to write a novel. My first passion was art, painting specifically, which moved into photography. Yet, under the surface of this creativity was the ever-present urge to tell stories, to commit to paper the personal thoughts and experiences endured and enjoyed, along with an addictive storyline that would examine those issues, disappointments, and personal ideals.
If I am not writing, I am editing my work. If I am not editing, I am writing or rewriting. It's a never-ending love story because there are always new and interesting twists I can make out of anything I experience.
After God and my family, writing is my therapy, my addiction, my guide, and my gift. So truly, it is not about me, it is about the words.

The Killing Game - Part One - The Blood Negotiators (The Killing Game Series) (Volume 1) by The Black Rose takes us into the New York division of the FBI. Ives, the Director, must investigate the woman that he has waited a lifetime to find because she wrote a novel that is more than accurate about an Italian crime boss. The FBI takes it upon themselves to recruit her help in getting into the organization of the Mob Boss and then the plan all falls to pieces. When that happens, Ives puts himself on the line for the one woman he loves.
If you want action, adventure, a little mystery and a dash of a love story, then this is the right book for you. I think that The Black Rose is into something with The Killing Game and this makes a thrilling opener to the series. I am personally looking forward to reading the next book in the series. I started this book and had some trouble putting it down once I did; I couldn’t guess when certain turns would happen in the action when reading this one, which I enjoyed. The book is well written with a flow to it that works for the story; the action is well paced throughout. One pitfall to these kinds of books is sometimes too much action at one point and not enough at others, but that doesn’t happen with The Killing Game. I would recommend this book with two thumbs way up.
