Miscalculation: A Noir Tale of Skull Morgan

The Entrypoint novellas in the Simon Vector series are a lot of fun.  I’ve always been a sucker for backstory — for details that make a character seem more real.  To me, every time you see a character in a novel, it should feel as if that person had a life before you encountered... »

Crisis Diplomacy

My latest SuperBolan novel for Harlequin is Crisis Diplomacy, available 2 April, 2013. When terrorists hijack an international conference on weapons of mass destruction in Stockholm, the hostages include the U.S. vice president. The ransom, a portion of each country’s GNP, is enough to cripple the world’s economies. Failure to comply ensures the hostages... »

“Street Sword” Now Available on Kindle

My second Paladin Press book, Street Sword, is back in print — virtually, anyway — as a Kindle ebook.  The book explains the mechanics of the long blade without all the traditional nonsense and trappings that usually accompany the use of the sword. As you can imagine, traditional swordsmen (such as exponents of Iaido... »

CORRUPTION: A Marshal Boothe Tale of Justice

CORRUPTION: A Marshal Boothe Tale of Justice

CORRUPTION is nothing more or less than a science fiction Western, complete with lonely showdowns and vengeful villains.  It’s much more than that, however.  This is a novella with an eye for the emotional turmoil of its protagonist.  Marshal Jayson Boothe could easily be a cookie-cutter tough guy with a badge and a gun. ... »

“Doomed”

“I want a cigarette.” “Shut up and hold the door,” said Justin. Grumbling, Richard hurried to get in front of the cart.  Using the transponder card he had not returned after his day shift, he unlocked the rusted fire door and hauled it open.  Justin swore repeatedly as he muscled the cart up over... »

CORRECTION: A Gerald Ruhming Tale of Terror

CORRECTION: A Gerald Ruhming Tale of Terror

First of all, as should be obvious from the page count, this is a NOVELLA, not a novel.  It’s priced accordingly and is a good value.  I peg the word count at roughly 20,000, which is appropriate novella (short novel) length.  You can read through this horror story in a single sitting and I... »

Executioner: Final Judgment

Just in time for Independence Day, I have another Mack Bolan book on the newsstands — my fifteenth in the various Bolan series.  This one, coincidentally, is another neo-Nazi/skinhead adventure.  When an aged Nazi is put on trial for war crimes, his followers take prisoners and flee with the old man in tow.  It... »

SuperBolan: Radical Edge

Radical Edge is my 14th novel for Gold Eagle/Harlequin Enterprises.  I think it might be the best Bolan fiction I’ve written to date.  I made a conscious effort to push the envelope a little more in crafting the story — giving Bolan more challenges to deal with, more emotion, etc.  The result is less... »

I Narrated Lee Chambers’ “The Pineville Heist”

If you’d like to hear me read a young adult thriller about a bunch of kids embroiled in a small-town robbery (which goes horribly, murderously awry), you can listen to Lee Chambers’ The Pineville Heist.  I narrated the hell out of this thing.  I found filmmaker and author Lee Chambers to be a really... »

I Narrated (Loudly and Breathlessly) This Children’s Book

The children’s book, Have You Spotted the White Squirrel, was one of those things I wasn’t sure how to take when it was sent to me.  I read the whole thing and was kind of charmed by it.  I think I forgot that the author said I would receive credit for narrating the audio... »
