OMNIMYSTERY NEWS INTERVIEW
Omnimystery News: Author Interview with Mark Rubinstein
with Mark Rubinstein
We are delighted to welcome back suspense novelist Mark Rubinstein to Omnimystery News. Mark first visited with us last year after his debut novel, Mad Dog House, was published.
His second book, Love Gone Mad (Thunder Lake Press; September 2013 trade paperback and ebook formats) has just been published and we had a chance to talk with him about his work.
A Matter of Sanity
Reading newspaper accounts about Aaron Alexis, the Washington mass murderer, it’s abundantly clear he was a highly disturbed man. His hearing voices and complaints about electrical vibrations directed at him from outside his body indicated a specific psychiatric disorder, namely, Paranoid Schizophrenia. He was reportedly seen by mental health professionals at various times and was described as having a volatile temper.
There are chilling reports about Mr. Alexis which bring to mind James Holmes, the Aurora, Colorado shooter and Adam Lanza, the Newtown, Connecticut mass murderer. In these horrific instances, reports of the shooters’ mental illnesses emerged after the incidents, which left many innocents dead or injured. However, the existence of these people’s mental illnesses were known before the rampages took place.

Why Crime-Thriller Fiction?
I’m occasionally asked why I write crime-thriller novels.
They always say write what you know, but I prefer to write what I love. And they always say, write the kind of book you would love to read. So, I write crime fiction.
But as a psychiatrist and novelist, I think there’s more than that when it comes to crime thriller fiction.
Love Gone Mad Review
Love Gone Mad Review by Mary Todd Chesnut
Divorced heart surgeon Adrian Douglas is living a comfortable but lonely life after leaving his job at Yale two years ago to work at Eastport General. Everything changes after a chance cafeteria encounter with attractive RN Megan Haggarty. Adrian is instantly smitten and begins a seemingly idyllic relationship with Megan, but he soon learns that even the most perfect woman can have some secrets. One of Megan’s biggest secrets is ex-husband Conrad Wilson, a hulk of a man who takes possessiveness to a whole new level. Anonymous threats and vandalism against the couple soon escalate to life-threatening encounters, and Conrad is the prime suspect. As Adrian and Megan’s relationship grows, the rage in Conrad intensifies, with all of his negative energy channeled toward them. VERDICT Rubinstein’s second foray into the fiction arena (after Mad Dog House) is an intense thriller that promises readers surprising twists, heart-pounding suspense, and a bird’s-eye view into both the mind of a madman and a dizzyingly realistic account of how it feels to be stalked as prey.

Book Launch for LOVE GONE MAD
I’m thrilled to announce that my new novel, Love Gone Mad, has officially launched and can be purchased online at amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com and bookstores in your neighborhood. It’s available in soft cover and also as an eBook.
One thing that a writer needs to do, if he’s to keep publishing his work, is to sell his books. So what follows is a great review from Library Journal. I’m hoping this will encourage you to go to your local library and suggest that they purchase a copy. Of course, you’ll also want one for yourself!
Rubinstein, Mark. Love Gone Mad.
Thunder Lake. Sept. 2013. 352p.
ISBN 9780985626860. pap. $12.99.

The Lost Weekend
Joe was a 30 year old man I evaluated in the context of his lawsuit.
One Friday evening, after everyone had gone home, he was working late at his Manhattan office. At 7:00 PM, he went downstairs to smoke a cigarette. Heading back to the office, he entered the elevator alone. Between the 30th and 31st floors, the elevator came to a sudden stop. He pushed every button, but the doors failed to open. No one responded to the alarm. He tried using the intercom; but still no response.
After an hour, he felt a sense of dread. He knew he was stuck. It was the beginning of a weekend, and the building would be empty until Monday morning. Neither the intercom nor alarm button worked, and no one was there to hear it, anyway. Joe had no food, no toilet, nothing to occupy him, and was alone in an eight by eight foot enclosure, hanging between floors in a Manhattan skyscraper. He was trapped.
