Sometimes, I share the real world facts […]

Why I Love Florida, Reason #3
Florida is a crazy place, but I love this wacky state. One of the wild things about Florida is that you can travel to a dozen different cultures and landscapes without traveling far from home. Sure, some cities are a ten-hour drive (or more) away from each other, but it’s all within a day’s drive […]
Saturday Special: Happy National Strawberry Day!
So, this week I told you about a new series I’m working on. It’s about Michael Flint, The Heir Hunter. It involves a very cold case. An armed robbery gone bad back in 1989. Two people were murdered and one escaped. Where is the killer today? It’s all completely fiction, of course! And then I […]
It’s A Bad Month for Italian Crime
When we hear about a food product “Made In Italy,” or when we imagine eating at an Italian café or shopping at a produce stand on the streets of Rome, it’s a mouth-watering, dreamy, appetite-inducing fantasy, isn’t it? But law enforcement officers have let us know this month that we can’t take that for granted. There […]

Two people were murdered and one escaped. Where is the killer today? This is the first book in a new […]
Don’t Know Jack: Behind The Book
Did you see that? Otto and Gaspar have been hunting Reacher for three novels and three novellas now. (And yes, I’m working on novel #4!) But in the beginning, when FBI Agents Kim Otto and Carlos Gaspar made their debut back in 2012, readers had lots of questions! In case you missed it, here’s the […]

Why I Love Florida, Reason #2: Miami
Do you know one major city in the U.S. founded by a woman? Take a guess at which city it is: Dallas, Texas Miami, Florida Chicago, Illinois San Francisco, California If you guessed #2, you are correct! (The title of this blog post might have been a good clue…) The woman behind Miami’s history […]
Florida Crime: Blame It On The Heat?
Crime in Paradise is a frequent theme of my books. I’ve written eight books set in the Sunshine State. Partly because I live in Florida and know it well. But also because the statistics show that Florida’s weather may influence crime rates and the types of crime found in the state. When we think of […]
