    It’s been just a few days since Peril went live; I have to admit, I’m always something of a nervous wreck during a book launch. Will the new story resonate with my readers, I always wonder, or will anyone actually find the new book in the first place? Honestly, I thought after publishing Blindsided the…

    As I write this, Peril has gone live on all editions — Kindle, paperback and hardcover. It’s hard to believe it was a little less than a year ago that Blindsided appeared, and though Peril is actually the seventh book written, the chronology of my series required that it sneak out as the fourth book…

    I’ve mentioned before that I swam competitively when I was younger — though I hasten to again point out I was nowhere near as good as my two main characters, Sean Colbeth and Vasily Korsokovach. Having grown up in the sport, I’ve kept up with the changes to it over the years, from the full-body…

    I’m down to putting the finishing touches on the X-Ray for Peril. It’s usually the final step before the Kindle version goes live; the paperback and hardcover editions are already put to bed, slumbering until the date they awake and begin to ship. In some ways, it’s my favorite step — one last chance to…

    I’m taking some much-needed time off and spending a few days with my wife visiting friends in SoCal. Living in Arizona as I do, I’m still amazed at the weather we get to experience while here. The skies have been deep, deep blue; the temperature a comfortable swing between chilly in the morning and pleasantly…

    I’ve just received my paperback proof for the latest Vasily adventure, so it’s feeling a bit more like the story is finally done. For a book I never expected to write, it’s been one of the most interesting tales I’ve crafted yet – and, clocking in at 300+ pages, my longest. There are a few…

    It’s early September as I write this, and I’m just beginning my prep work for my next novel in the Sean Colbeth Investigates series. I found myself taken aback slightly, though, when I realized it would be the eighth novel overall (and fourth one featuring my Windeport Chief of Police). Have I really written seven…

    I’m in the final stages of editing Peril and am looking for a beta reader to replace one of my regulars who is not available this time around. If you are interested, send me a message using the form below!

    We’re just beginning what we call the monsoon season here in Arizona; a few months of afternoon and evening thunderstorms that light up the sky and give our plants a much needed drink of water. Having grown up on the East Coast, I still find it remarkable how many days of sunshine we experience, which…

    I’m editing book six at the moment and there is a scene where Vasily is hiking in a rather beautiful national forest area of California. The activity is one that harkens back to my youth when many a weekend was spent scampering around the backwoods of Maine for one reason or another. I can’t say…
