About My Stories
My stories fall within the genre of crime fiction. People who analyze fiction often draw several distinctions within this genre—mystery, intrigue, action, suspense, thriller, and so on. These distinctions might be meaningful in the abstract, but in concrete terms, it's impossible to imagine an interesting crime story that doesn't contain most, or all, of the aforementioned elements. So I consider my stories 'crime stories' in the generic sense, because all of my stories involve a crime, or crimes.
My stories are generally about people who find themselves in life-and-death circumstances and manage to overcome serious obstacles, usually by trusting and helping one another. The stories are not about superheroes with superhuman intelligence or Herculean abilities to withstand physical punishment and temptation. They're about ordinary people with strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, and so on. The bad people tend to be very bad indeed--but not always. The good people are good, but they have their faults, just as real people do. What sets them apart is that they have the courage of their convictions, and they don't let each other down.
Now that I've told you what I think my characters are like, I invite you to read these books and see what you think they're like. I hope you enjoy them, and I would enjoy reading your reactions. My real name is not Emory Cosgrove, but I can be contacted at cosgrovecrime@yahoo.com.
All of my books are available in print format both on Amazon.com and in retail bookstores. Available in ebook format on Amazon/Kindle, Smashwords.com, Barnes&Noble Nook-Books, iBooks, and most other ebook outlets.
