C-4: Proof That The Hunt for Reacher Is Deadly
Hunting Jack Reacher is deadly business. You know that’s the case in all of my Hunt for Reacher thrillers, right? Deep Cover Jack continues that promise and C-4 is involved. So, what do you know about the chemical explosive C-4? If, like Jack Reacher, you have a military background, you probably know a lot. I needed to […]
From Fiction to Nonfiction and Back Again
I grew up a voracious reader. As a child, I read everything (and still do!). But my favorite was fiction. Especially mystery/suspense/thriller. When I worked as an attorney, I not only did more than my fair share of reading, but of course wrote lots of papers. Legal stuff. All nonfiction, of course. When the tides […]

Inside Human Trafficking: Part 2

Investing in Gold: Silly, Sound or Criminal?
Research for my thrillers usually takes some wild and crazy turns. Every book is sparked by an idea or an event and then, after a while, it can grow into a great story. Such was the case when one of my friends told me at lunch a couple of years ago that she was investing […]
TRUE CRIME: Bored Robber Gives Up
Of course, I’m committed to writing stories that are both believable and exciting. In fact, this is part of the reason I do so much research before and during the writing of my thrillers. Here’s one strange case of true crime I came across recently: The owner of a kebab store in New Zealand was working his regular hours […]
Hemingway’s Secret Getaway: #Michigan
I think it goes without saying: Ernest Hemingway’s most famous home is the one in Key West, Florida. But as a snowbird, I’ve got feelers up here in Michigan, and I’m at least as familiar with Hemingway’s time around the Great Lakes State as I am with his famous Key West home. Hemingway was born in […]
