My Worlds Are Colliding!
As a crime fiction author and lawyer, DNA is involved in a lot of what I’m thinking and writing about all the time. DNA especially took the spotlight in my Thriller Award Finalist novel Jack and Joe, which explores the connections between Jack Reacher and Joe Reacher. Since then, I’ve been blogging occasionally about true […]
Revealing Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Home
Have you ever taken a moment to imagine where the creator of Sherlock Holmes might have lived? Surely someplace truly mysterious and magical and of course very British, right? The residence of Sherlock himself — 221B Baker Street — is so famous (even though it’s a fictional place…) that I think many of us picture Sir Arthur Conan […]
Who’s Your Blue-Eyed Mommy?
Lee Child and Jack Reacher and I have blue eyes. Do you? If you have blue eyes, we might be cousins. Who knew, right? A recent study, reported by LiveScience.com, claims that people with blue eyes have a single, common ancestor. “[W]e can conclude that all blue-eyed individuals are linked to the same ancestor,” Eiberg said. […]
Are You An Amateur Heir Hunter?
Do You Use Ancestry.com? The popular genealogy website isn’t paying me to write this article, scout’s honor. So tell me honestly. I’m curious as to whether or not you use ancestry.com, and if so, why? I ask because I’ve gotten sucked into the power of online genealogy tracing while doing research for my new books […]
True Crime: Sweatshirt DNA Releases Father of Family Murders

But DNA isn’t always the whole story, is it? And you know I’m interested in justice, because of my background as a lawyer, and as a human […]
Owl or Lark? Why It’s Okay to NOT Be A Morning Person
When do you do your best work? For me, it’s any time AFTER morning. Or, as my friend Lee Child famously said, “Nothing of value happens before noon.” I totally agree! Does this make me a bad person? Does it mean I’m lazy or weak? Of course not! It’s just that we owls operate a […]
Before We Board, Jets Are Tested to the Max
If you’ve read my books, you know how important air travel is to many of my storylines. You might also know that FBI Special Agent Kim Otto, the star of my Hunt for Jack Reacher series, fears flying. She boards the planes and flies because it’s the most efficient way to find Reacher — and to […]

Thanks so much to the International Thriller Writers Organization and the Awards Committee for this honor! The Thriller Award is our “Oscar,” and I can’t tell you […]
Saturday Special: Spring Reading List
Happy spring, readers! It’s already April and I think I’ve failed to wish you a happy spring so far. I’ve been chained to my desk finishing my book about Michael Flint, The Heir Hunter… which makes me really appreciate the high patience level of good friends on days when I have to put writing deadlines […]
