‘Murder By Association: A Stanford Carter Prequel’ by Gary Starta

REVIEW

This is a book that you just can’t put down once you start it. I read it in less than a day. The characters are well developed, complex and multi-faceted. The story is built in such a wonderful way that leaves you rooting for their success and fearing for their safety. Gary Starta did an amazing job creating twists and turns that left me guessing from beginning to end. The book gets off to a great start with a short prologue. A guy has just killed four women and two men lead by his distaste “for a crazy little thing called love”. It’s a guy who gets angry “every time a stranger passed him by without so much a nod or salutation”. The ending is at once unexpected and darkly emotional the way every great noir mystery is. “Lost in the character” as Gary Starta writes…

Sci Fi crime author Gary Starta on his thriller book ‘Dead Market’

INTERVIEW

Gary Starta is a former journalist who studied English and Journalism at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst.

His love for science fiction compelled him to write his first novel ‘What Are You Made Of?’ published in 2006.

Starta foresees a near future where humans will be forced to decide if intelligent machinery is indeed a life form. The line between biological life form and mechanical life form continues to be examined in 2010’s ‘Gods of the Machines’.

Demon Inhibitions along with its preceding Caitlin Diggs (series) novels, ‘Extreme Liquidation’ and ‘Blood Web’ are reminiscent of the The X-files television/movie series.

Starta’s crime novella ‘Murder By Association’ blends mystery with forensic investigation. It is a departure from previous books because it contains no science fiction or paranormal elements. Its follow up is 2012’s ‘Kindred Killers’. Additionally, Starta foresees his 2008 novella ‘Alzabreah’s Garden’ – a fantasy romance – as another out-of-the-box effort.

Gary Starta’s latest book ‘Dead Market’ is a horror occult story on Genetic Engineering and it’s the absolute 5 star read.

Recently I had the pleasure to have a little chat with Gary and here is what we talked about…

  • How did you decide to pursue a writing career?
    “I became a newspaper reporter years ago after going to school for a Journalism/English degree. Although I ready many books it wasn’t until I finished being a non-fiction writer and took the plunge into fiction! It was about 11 years ago that I started writing novels and now I have about 15 books altogether.”
  • Was getting published hard?
    “Yes. But persistence is key! Keep submitting and then submit some more.”
  • Are your characters based on people you know?
    “No, not at all. I want this to be my escape!”
  • What genre are your books?
    “SCI FI THRILLER CRIME, or a mix, kind of like a hybrid genre. I call it fiction on the fringe of genre.”
  • Which of your books is your most favorite?
    “Wow! They are like children. I’ll say Blood Web, the first Caitlin Diggs novel.”
  • Do you have a specific writing routine?
    “Yes, one day a week around late morning.”
  • What are your current projects?
    “Writing the first Diggs & Shay novel which is about aliens and printing a human.”
  • What’s next for you?
    “Publish the next book in the Camden Investigations series!”
