Is Illegal Gold More Valuable Than Drugs?
What’s happening with gold in Latin America right now is really interesting to me because it overlaps with the plots of both of my two most recent books — Blood Trails and Deep Cover Jack. So, in Deep Cover Jack, a Hunt for Jack Reacher thriller, one of the questions that comes up is: Why […]
Jack Reacher’s Drive For Success in 2017
What changes do you expect this year? What changes happened for you last year that you didn’t expect? What do you expect will stay the same in this new year? As we learn from all my books, and from life experiences all the time, things aren’t always as they seem…! I don’t necessarily believe in […]
What If You Were in a Helicopter When the Engine Fails?
If you want to write a great action scene, you’ve gotta know something about physics, know someone(s) who does, or be able to figure it out through research. For me, it’s a combination of all three when I write action scenes for my thrillers. One of them happens in Blood Trails, my new thriller novel […]
Happy Mysteries Solved By Saliva
The mystery books I write always involve something nefarious. A crime, a cover-up, or, at the very least, suspicious characters are always elements of the story. But not all mysteries are tragic. A mystery can be a question. Like: Who are my biological parents? That’s where services like ancestry.com come in. Sometimes, those services aren’t […]

Can Personality Help Track Down Ancestors?
My new release, Blood Trails, deals with the subject of DNA. The series stars Michael Flint, Heir Hunter. You’ve heard of ancestry.com, right? The website traces relatives, finding connections to people you didn’t know existed or — in the mind of this mystery writer — people who have gone missing. My new Heir Hunter series works […]
