Did you know that one of the men who advanced the technology for polygraphs also created the comic book Wonder Woman?
Read about that and more!

I just read in Psychology Today that a mafia ritual in Russian prisons is for the prisoners to give tattoos to one another. That in itself is not so uncommon. What freaked me out was how it is done:
“Their ink is made from soot shaved off their shoes and mixed with urine.” Okay, umm… yuck!
“It’s injected via guitar strings attached to electric shavers.” That image conjures something like a medieval torture device.
I will never be able to look at tattoos the same way again.
I just finished the first draft of my upcoming novel, Miami Snow! I love that feeling of typing out the last line! I hope to have it complete and published by early next year.

The first recorded American prison riot occurred in 1773, at New-Gate Prison in Connecticut. The prison was a converted copper mine that was often referred to as Slimsbury Dungeon.
Such a great line:
There’s the scarlet thread of murder running through the colourless skein of life, and our duty is to unravel it, and isolate it, and expose every inch of it.
