In honor of #NationalCheeseDay, a quote, some wine, and a joke
Today, June 4th 2016, is National Cheese Day. Which means we’ll need some wine to pair with it, of course! FBI Agent Carlos Gaspar can help us whet our appetites. You remember the meal he devours in Jack in the Green, right? “The combination of ripe Bartlett pears, Gorgonzola cheese, candied walnuts and vinaigrette perfectly blended. […]

In my Hunt for Jack Reacher Series thrillers, FBI Special Agent Kim Otto is a lateral thinker, often at odds with the linear-thinking […]

Congratulations! You’ve already accomplished something this weekend! Not that constant productivity is the best route to success: This week I wrote about the routines of highly creative people, and about how, while FBI Special Agents Kim Otto and Carlos Gaspar aren’t artists or musicians, their job requires oodles of creativity.

Is Jack Reacher Hiding In An Ecocapsule?
Where is Jack Reacher? It’s a little bit odd that he simply shows up somewhere every fall with no explanation for where he’s been, don’t you think? It took ten years to find Osama Bin Laden, perhaps the most wanted criminal on earth. But even he was living somewhere all that time. He wasn’t on […]
A Photographic Tour of Bayshore Boulevard
Do you know one landmark that’s referenced in almost every one of my books set in Florida? Bayshore Boulevard in Tampa. That’s because it’s one of the true gems of the city.
