Sample chapters and excerpts from Novels I’ve published or pitching to the usual suspects.
The problem with this hearing, as Candice explained during strategy sessions back home, comes from divergent agendas. Usually, she recounted, one party favors the witness while the other attacks it. Unfortunately for me, I’ll likely get it from both sides. On the one hand, those on the left, not too keen on the nasty behind-the-scenes […]
The gentleman nods, smiles some more, and this time I could swear he does wink at me. Will have to check the footage later. Looking forward to it already. “I saw you visited Arlington this morning,” the senator says, affecting a more serious expression. “A moving ceremony, I must say.” He pauses, and here I […]
As promised, Wounded Honor, the seventh book in the Tracking Jane series, is out today! You can grab the print or eBook version from an online store near you. If you haven’t read the preceding episodes in Jane’s saga, you can also pick those up from the same source. Or, if you’re the more deliberate […]

“Guess Candice knows what she speaks of,” I tell Dan. Having told the kids to scoot back in the house, and after settling down the dogs, Dan and I are standing on the porch, letting them cameras with long telephoto lenses get a solid bead on us. “I count four,” he says, referring to the […]
Reader reviews for Virtual Identity are coming in, and I am pleased to find that readers are connecting with the story as I hoped they would. Virtual Identity probably stands as one of the most intricately complex stories I’ve written. I did a fair amount of hand-wringing, wondering if it would work, primarily, whether the […]
Agent Rodrigo Ochoa stood next to Cynthia, on edge, doing his best to ignore her nudging—her veiled ridicule—knowing she could use it to mask her prodding.
