Mystery Writer BJ Bourg is the Chief
Investigator for a Louisiana District
Attorney's Office. He has over fifteen
years of law enforcement experience
in a variety of fields, including patrol,
investigations, SWAT, sniping, and
training. While none of his stories are
based on actual cases he has worked,
he draws upon his law enforcement
experiences, training, and knowledge
in his quest to create believable and
entertaining mysteries.
BJ Bourg's love for story-telling
began at age ten, but it wasn't until
he was twenty-eight that he submitted
his first short story for consideration.
He had to wait another four years to
become published. It was on May 23rd
of 2003 that Earl Staggs, Senior
Fiction Editor for FUTURES
Mysterious Anthology Magazine,
notified him that his story, MUDDY
WATERS, had been accepted for
publication. The story was edited by
FMAM Founder and Publisher Babs
Lakey. It appeared in the Summer
2004 issue and was featured on the
cover.
Since that first acceptance, the author
has had nearly eighty stories
published in the following venues:
Amazon Shorts Program, Writer's
Post Journal, Mysterical-E, Future's
Mysterious Anthology Magazine,
Flashing in the Gutters, Apollo's
Lyre, Bewildering Stories, Flashshot,
Detective Mystery Stories, Future's
Anthology MagEzine, The Writer's
Hood, Chippewa Publishing, Crime
and Suspense, and Skyline Magazine's
Endless Stories.
BJ Bourg is the author of ABSENT
THE SOUL, which is a book of short
mysteries that include his first dozen.
Three of his longer short stories
appear in the new anthology, The EX
Factor, which is published by Koboca
Publishing and is available in all
bookstores. In addition to that, one of
his short stories, A FATHER'S
CONSOLATION, is included in an
anthology titled STORIES OF
STRENGTH and he is one of seven
authors to contribute to Tony
Burton's anthology titled SEVEN BY
SEVEN.

In HOLLOW CRIB, William Chandler decides to take his wife and six month old
daughter on a camping trip to the Kisatchie National Forest in northern Louisiana, where his
father was killed by a falling tree twenty years earlier. Tormented by lingering demons and a
strange Army veteran who talks to a Pit Bull, William begins to question his decision to return to
the scene of his youthful tragedy. On the second night of their stay, William's wife falls into the
raging rapids of the Kisatchie Bayou. His desperate rescue attempt proves successful, but
when he returns to the campsite he makes a discovery that will change his life forever. A violent
car crash and a hospital stay precede William's subsequent arrest for a murder he didn't
commit. Betrayed by his wife and facing the death penalty, William is forced into desperate
action.
Meanwhile, in the southern part of the state, a burglary case leads police to the body of a
Magnolia Life Church parishioner. When Detectives Brandon Berger and Dawn Luke begin to
investigate, they discover that the church is more than just a place of worship. The information
they uncover could help William Chandler prove his innocence, but making the two hundred and
fifty-one mile connection could be a killer.
HOLLOW CRIB is an emotional rollercoaster ride that follows William's struggle to prove his
innocence…all the way to its extraordinary conclusion.
