Four years ago, when I was plotting my new book, Fatal Distraction, the first job was finding the central crime that pits the psychopathic villain against Jess Kimball.

Beware: Psychopaths Among Us (Part Two)
We’re back today with therapist and writer Louise Behiel, author of the terrific new release Family Ties, discussing the Psychopaths Among Us, and particularly the villain in my latest thriller, Fatal Distraction. This is Part Two of the series. If you missed Part One, you’ll want to read that first. Louise Behiel: Before we start, […]
Beware: Psychopaths Among Us (Part One)
Because the stronger the villain, the better the story, I chose a true psychopath for Jess Kimball’s Fatal Distraction nemesis.

Let me introduce you to them now and the book we’re launching tomorrow. I was writing Florida crime fiction and […]
Fabulous Florida: Experience the Sunshine State
I’m a Florida writer. I love my adopted home because, well, what’s not to love? We live in paradise. We wear flip flops year round, drive convertible cars, drink margaritas by the pitcher, and get invaded by pirates once a year (in addition to Yankees, Cardinals, Tigers, Braves, Bears, Seahawks, etc.). Everybody wants to escape […]

What do Charlemagne, the Romanovs, and Templar Knights have in common? Exactly! New York Times Bestselling thriller author, Steve Berry. When I first met Steve, we were both practicing lawyers and published authors. He was living in South Georgia, but so close to Florida he might as well have been a Floridian, too. Later, we […]

Diane Capri Reveals Indie Author Superstar CJ Lyons
Long ago, in a galaxy far away, before she became an Indie Author Superstar selling 250,000 copies of one of her e-books in just two months, CJ Lyons and I were members of a small critique group. I’m not sure how we got connected way back then because we had little in common. CJ lived […]
