My books are more dark comedy than gory 😳

In fairness, I understand why people might think my books are gory. Not to suggest they lack in murder, but I don't feel the need to get into the gross details. To some, that might be a turnoff because they might pick up my books with expectations of gore. For others, it might discourage people from attempting to read my books because they could assume my Hernandez series is too gory. 

As strange as it may sound, my books are more of a dark comedy, than anything else. Sure, there's crime, corruption, and murder, but there's a lot of (probably) inappropriate jokes and comments along the way. In today's ultra sensitive world, that might be an issue for some, but I don't care because I don't tend to write with many people's feelings in mind. The language is rough. 

People regularly ask if my Hernandez series is gory, so I felt it was a good time to clear the air on this issue. Of course, I always suggest anyone even slightly interested should go online and read a free sample of a book to decide for themselves.
