BETHWICK MEDIA

Dale Blades and Scott Wallis established Bethwick Media, L.L.C. in 2018.

The company is named after the first house they owned together, located on Bethwick Circle, "two and a half songs away" from the famed Las Vegas Strip. Even though they're living in Sin City house #4 now, they'll always have a place in their hearts for their first. *

Bethwick Media is the home of the couple's long-running pop culture podcast, Swish Edition, as well as Bethwick Books, a collection of novels by Ava Blades, Macon Lence, and Scott.

Bethwick Books: R. SCOTT WALLIS

Fiercely independent, insatiably curious, and always up for an adventure, public relations hotshot Skyler Moore is a hero for our time. She's decidedly not a sleuth by trade, but mayhem often comes knocking as she and her friends visit the small towns and big cities of America.

In the first book, The Maine Nemesis, Skyler decides to spend the summer at her seaside cottage in Wabanaki, Maine, with her best friend—celebrity chef Brenda Braxton—and they have no idea that murder will be on the menu. But women are turning up dead in the once sleepy village where nothing ever happens. With the residents up in arms and the rinky-dink police force overwhelmed, Skyler and her friends feel compelled to lend a hand to save the town they love so much. The backdrop is classic New England Americana: lobster rolls, the whole town out for the Fourth of July, and summer evenings cooled by the ocean breeze. That...and an occasional murder, a kidnapping, and a few dangerous liaisons.

All four books in the Skyler Moore Novel series are available now. Purchase your digital copies or order the paperbacks through Amazon.

Bethwick Books: MACON LENCE

Macon Lence doesn’t have the inner struggles of Tony Soprano, the charisma of Thomas Crown, nor the psychopathy of Tom Ripley, but he’s decidedly a criminal…yet in a softer, newfangled kind of a way. He’s a self-proclaimed ‘gentle grifter,’ with a big heart and a pesky conscience.

So, when a body mysteriously shows up in his upscale casino hotel suite and Sin City’s lady mob boss demands he take on a dreadful task, our anti-hero must first contend with murder, kidnapping, and blackmail, then engage in a dangerous game of cat and mouse in order to save the day.

Ill Gotten Gains: Diary of a Gentle Grifter is available now. Purchase your digital copy or order a paperback through Amazon.
