ERWIN'S LAW
Genre: Murder Mystery Author: Si Dunn eBook: iPad, Kindle, KOBO, Nook, Sony, etc., $4.95 eBook (Amazon download): Kindle, $4.95
Erwin Tennyson is an unemployed newspaper writer who made his living reviewing detective novels. When he stumbles over a woman's dead body in the park, he reports his find to the budget-challenged Austin, Texas police. Erwin is convinced the woman was murdered, and he is appalled when he learns the police have listed her demise as a "Jane Doe suicide." When he can't find another paid reviewer's position, Erwin decides to become a private investigator to try to earn a living—and to track down the woman's killer.

But Erwin is no tough guy. He has zero fighting skills, and hasn't fired a gun in 40 years. Working as a P.I. without a state license is a felony in Texas; only ex-cops or university graduates with criminal justice degrees qualify for the permit. Undaunted, Erwin takes the law into his own hands and risks arrest as he investigates, unaware that he is setting himself up to be the killer's next victim.
Si Dunn's recently published fiction is Jump, a novella that deals, in part, with a combat veteran's post-traumatic stress disorder. Si is also a screenwriter, with five feature screenplays currently under option to producers in the United States. He reviews books on a freelance basis for the Dallas Morning News. His short screenplay, Weenie Wednesday, was produced in Montreal in 2006 and shown at several film festivals in Europe, Canada and the Caribbean.
