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.
BJ Bourg is also the editor/owner of a new quarterly
online mystery magazine called Mouth Full of
Bullets. First published on September 07, 2006, this
magazine is filled with amazingly outstanding stories
and poems by some of the best new and veteran voices
in the mystery community. In addition to poems and
stories, MFOB features columns, reviews,
announcements, and interviews.
In addition to writing and his fulltime job, BJ Bourg
loves boxing, playing drums, strumming his Fender
Stratocaster, teaching, sniping, martial arts, the New
Orleans Saints, and (most importantly) spending time
with his beautiful wife and two wonderful children.

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.
