              SOMETHING NEW: SWIPE
           A twisty, psychological thriller about murder
              and revenge on those online dating apps

    Picture
    Sonya's fed up with bad internet dates.

    But she never meant to kill anyone.

    After a stressful day at work and a creepy first meetup, Sonya Romano goes on a mission: teach a lesson to the smarmy guys she's meeting on her dating app. But when one of them falls to his death as a result of her confrontation--a married man posing as a single guy--she realizes she's gone too far.

    Meanwhile, Jake Parker, former Pulitzer nominee, has hit rock bottom. His boss gives him an assignment: go under cover and produce a click bait story about dating apps. Things start to look up when another married man on the app is murdered, and Jake suspects that there may be a serial killer targeting cheaters.

    With Jake hot on her trail, Sonya races to cover her tracks, until they finally meet.

    Fighting a powerful mutual attraction but suspicious of each other, neither of them knows that a deranged psychopath is closer than they think, and much more of a danger than either of them realizes.

    Can they figure out what's going on, before one of them is next?

    BROADCAST BLUES: MY LATEST CLARE CARLSON MYSTERY

    HERE'S WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT BROADCAST BLUES....

    “Broadcast Blues is a page-turning, meticulously plotted crime novel enriched by a terrific New York sense of place, Dick Belsky’s wicked sense of humor, and his insider’s view of the Machiavellian world that is broadcast news.” —Jonathan Kellerman, New York Times best-selling author
    "Brisk and enjoyable.... Satisfying suspects, plausible motives, and some truly surprising plot twists make this a winner. Readers will clamor for the next installment" -Publishers Weekly
    "Clare Carlson is a most compelling character...I could not put this one down. Belsky hits a nice balance between some good humor in the dialogue and real danger to his characters in the plot. I did not see the resolution of the main plot and subplots until the story got tied together at the end – didn’t see it coming...this novel gets my strongest recommendation." - Men Reading Books
    "All the pieces are in place and expert author R.G. Belsky just starts toppling a chain of dominoes. At that point it’s hard to look away from the page. Expect murder and duplicity, all covered by Channel 10. BROADCAST BLUES could refer to the NYPD, the troubles at the station, or the angst of a woman seeing her best years in the rear view mirror. These make a powerful combination and probably Belsky’s best story to date." - Fresh Fiction
    "Another R.G. Belsky winner...an intricate murder case cleverly crafted and brilliantly conceived that carries the story and keeps readers riveted." - BookTrib
                 
                   PRAISE FOR THE CLARE CARLSON SERIES


    “[It’s News to Me is] witty, clever and engaging. Clare Carlson’s irreverent comments and dogged reporter’s instincts make for a propulsive ride as she races from the chaos of a newsroom’s inner sanctum to the dangers of a murder victim’s deepest secrets. Once you start, you won’t put it down.” —Lisa Gardner, #1 New York Times best-selling author

    “Below the Fold takes readers on a whiplash ride through a New York murder case. The television news investigation provides a fascinating lens for the story. Heroine Clare Carlson is formidable, human, and thoroughly authentic. R. G. Belsky knows his stuff.” —Meg Gardiner, Edgar Award-winning author

    “In today's world of fake news and alternate facts, R. G. Belsky reminds us why we need reporters like Clare Carlson more than ever before. She is what we want all our journalists to be—honest, objective, and relentless in her pursuit of the truth.” —Lee Goldberg,
    New York Times best-selling author

    “Belsky’s
    Yesterday’s News elicits all parents’ deepest fear—the disappearance of a child. But this intelligent, gripping novel is about so much more: ambition, secrets, and, most shocking of all, truth. Read it.” —Reed Farrel Coleman, New York Times best-selling author

    “What a terrific book! A complex and compelling nonstop cat-and-mouse chase—and you're never quite sure which one's the mouse. Even the savviest of readers will be gasping in awe at Belsky's impressive story-telling skills.” —Hank Phillippi Ryan, Agatha, Anthony and Mary Higgins Clark Award-winning author

    “Belsky's behind-the-headlines thriller
    Yesterday’s News is about truth, lies—and how much of each we're willing to live with.” —Lori Rader-Day, Mary Higgins Clark Award-winning author

    “
    Below the Fold is a terrific mystery, written with a veteran journalist's eye. The pacing and plotting are everything you want, but it's R. G. Belsky's insider knowledge that adds a wonderful layer to this story of media and murder.”—Michael Koryta, New York Times best-selling author

    “
    The Last Scoop is another surefire success for author R. G. Belsky as well as for Oceanview Publishing which has been putting out one top-notch page-turner after another.” --New York Journal of Books

    " Below the Fold is a gripping and intelligent thriller that rips open the dark underbelly of TV news, written by a former television and print journalist himself. Fast-moving and full of colorful, down-and-dirty characters, this terrific novel is the second in a series starring the compelling and engaging TV journalist Clare Carlson. I highly recommend it." Douglas Preston , New York Times best-selling author


    “Belsky, a New York journalist, casts a searing light on a television newsroom and the never-ending pressure to capture headlines and ratings. Readers will hope capable, hard-driven Clare returns soon.” --Publishers Weekly

    “Belsky’s not just funny; he has a pitch-perfect ear for dialogue, including writing snappy New York repartee not seen since Susan Isaacson.” --BookTrib

    "Belsky has at least 12 books to his credit and most all pertain to 'the news' because that's what he does. He's made a career of 'the news' be in print, TV, digital, etc. mostly in New York. He writes what he knows: Crime, NYC, News. And he's dang good at it." - Men Reading Books
