In the ongoing collaborative project, Flight 12, by the group of New York Times Best Selling authors who call ourselves The Twelve, Flight 12 is headed to Rome. Since we are a group of mystery/thriller writers, you may be assuming – of course, mid-flight, something dramatic will happen and the safety of Flight 12 will […]

How Does MacDill Air Force Base Celebrate July 4th?
When Diane Capri readers last visited MacDill Air Force Base, FBI Special Agents Kim Otto and Carlos Gaspar were hunting Jack Reacher. Jack in the Green is fiction, but MacDill Air Force Base actually exists as a unique and complex place in Tampa, Florida. How unique is MacDill? Here’s how Carlos Gaspar views it: “MacDill Air […]
Secret Hiding Places
Is it really possible to hide your assets and disappear in the modern world? Sure, Jack Reacher seems to live totally off the grid. But does he really? Even Reacher carries an ATM card and a passport in addition to his folding toothbrush these days. He also collects a government pension from the Army, which […]
Beware the Liger!
If Jack Reacher were an animal, I’m inclined to believe he’d be a liger. Ligers are big cats. They’re huge, they’re rare, and they’re dangerous. Nobody messes with a liger and lives to tell about it. Sounds like Reacher, doesn’t it? Do you know much about ligers? Probably less than FBI Agents Kim Otto and […]
Jack in the Green Release Day!
First, there was Don’t Know Jack. Next, there was Jack in a Box, Jack and Kill, and Get Back Jack. Then, Don’t Know Jack stepped back in the spotlight by appearing in the New York Times Bestselling Set Deadly Dozen. Now, I’m thrilled to announce the NEXT BOOK in the Hunt for Jack Reacher Series […]
Saturday Special: Procrastination Is Genetic?
Did you see the study about procrastination that came out this week? The study was published in Psychological Science. It found that procrastination is a trait that can be inherited. That makes me feel a lot better! Of course, I know DNA is destiny. That’s why I have my mother’s eyes and my my dad’s hair. […]

This boxed set collection of award winning and bestselling 12 mystery/thrillers is on sale for 99 cents for a limited time. It’s a collaborative project […]
Loyal Friend, Lethal Enemy
Most days, I blog here about trust, betrayal, murder, mayhem, friendships gone wrong and killer enemies. Sometimes, we discuss true crime. More often, we discuss fiction. Lately, though, we’ve been talking about loyal friends. Friendship lessons from The Beatles. The new adventures of The Twelve (more coming on that soon!). Writing partnerships that require readers […]
Love At First Connection and The Rest of the Story
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. A day to celebrate romance. You’ve read my books. You know I’m not an especially romantic person. One of my writer friends once suggested that I should put more romance in my books. I said, “I’m married. What do I know about romance?” She replied, “Well, you write about murder and […]
Where Is Maura Murray? Part 2
“Hundreds of people disappear every year. All you do is to cut all your ties to your old self by telling no one about your plans, fabricate a new name and history, and pay for everything with cash. It’s fairly easy if you just take on the identity of a dead person.” –Secret Justice, Chapter […]
