Gregg Kaplan, book 2—LAST CHANCE
After months—strike that—years of being bombarded with emails wanting to know about when the Gregg Kaplan sequel to BLOWN was going to come out, I felt I should listen a little closer to my readers wants and desires. Admittedly, I had struggled for an idea for the next Kaplan book seeing as I had lavished…
Read MoreDISRUPTION—Jake Pendleton. Book 4
The fourth book in the Jake Pendleton series, DISRUPTION, my most recent and was my most difficult book to write.

My first thriller, The Savannah Project, was published in 2010 and I’ve had 6 more works of fiction published since then (one a short mystery) and…
Read MoreAre you an Outliner or a Pantser?
Over the years I’ve run across so many authors who say they outline, some extensively, and declare there is no other way to write a novel than to have an exhaustive outline. I’ve also run across just as many authors, very successful ones I might add, who claim that writing by the seat of the…
Read MoreThe Premise Line: A great way to kick-start your novel
Every author, from beginner to seasoned, must make that first decision: What is this story going to be about and where do I start? For some authors, I dare say most, this is their first big hurdle. Once cleared, they are on their way to writing that novel. Questions abound in the beginning. A big…
