So Web of Extinction is at the editor’s, getting ready to close out the Zone War trilogy… or is it? Lots of fans have lamented that the series is ending — that makes me happy, mostly because it means I did my job and wrote characters that people care about. But it also makes me […]

One thing I didn’t address in this morning’s post was all of the ideas and suggestions I get from fans of the books.  I get a ton!  Demon Accords and Zone War fans are heavily invested in both series and I’m hugely thankful for that (hello mortgage my old friend). I read every email, every […]

Often, when it’s revealed that I’m an author, people ask how I come up with ideas for stories.  My answer is that usually that they just pop into my brain.  That I can’t stop them and just have to keep a constantly growing list. At this point in the conversation, my wife takes note of […]

Borough of Bones is at the editor’s, undergoing the change from raw wordage to readable English.  I expect it back at any time this week and as soon as it arrives, I’ll put the last touches in place and it’ll be published on Amazon, Apple, Barnes & Noble and all the rest.  Approximately three or […]

So I wrote the first eighteen books of my writing career while holding down a full time job and being a full time father.  Now the kids are grown (but being a father never stops – who knew?), and I’ve retired from a thirty-two year career as a banker, investment manager and financial planner.  My […]

Published on Amazon and Smashwords January 3, 2019!  Happy New Year to All!

2018 is drawing to a close and with it comes the end of my career in banking and finance.  Thirty-two years of personal finance and investing that provided the stable foundation for my family and gave me the time to incubate a fledgling writing career. Now with ten years of published experience in the odd […]
