My motto is ‘Have straw, will travel.’ We enjoyed a special happy hour at a neighbor’s house, met new people, reconnected with some great friends, and had a wonderful evening. Don’t be fooled by the small glass in front of me; the homemade concoction inside was surprisingly potent – and tasty! PS: Alcohol drains more […]

Another stellar road trip for my wife and me to visit our precious granddaughter, Charlotte, and her amazing parents in Orange County.

I write my books while constantly editing previous chapters—it’s what works for me. Doheny Drive will be my fourth book and very different from the others. Of course, the final version will differ in ways unknown, but I’m hoping you get a strong sense of place and time and are intrigued by how I set

After a busy week visiting Princess Charlotte and her parents in Southern California, I am frantically preparing for the June 14 launch of The Emerald Cross while writing Doheny Drive and squeezing in some reading (I just finished All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr).

I always wanted to visit Taliesin West before I ended up in this damn chair. Wheelchairs are a disallowed mode of transportation on the site, with good reason (too rocky and uneven). I was thrilled that my wife and her childhood friend drove from the northwest side of the Valley of the Sun (metro Phoenix)

If you love page-turners filled with elements of family/military/cartel and domestic thrillers, then you might find The Emerald Cross well worth your time. I hope so!
