2018

Happy New Year, everyone.

It's January 1 and very cold here in Florida, so I'm hunkering down in my office and trying to stay warm. I know...I was raised in West Virginia so I grew up in the cold so I should be used to it, right? Well that was a long time ago and I've lived in Florida long enough to know that I hate cold weather. It was in the sixties yesterday and I played golf; today it's not even 50 and it's cold.

As 2018 arrives I have the same resolution that I always have. To be a better husband, father, Christian, and friend. If I can accomplish that, then it will be a good year.

On the microcosm of things, I want to improve my chess rating, and handle some personal issues that I refuse to let control me this year.

As for the books, The Judas Man will be out this year and I'm working on another Logan novel for probably 2019.

Thank you for your support and please feel free to write me. I enjoy hearing from you.

"My wife made a crucial difference during those two years I spent teaching at Hampden (and washing sheets at New Franklin Laundry during the summer vacation). If she had suggested that the time I spent writing stories...was wasted time, I think a lot of the heart would have gone out of me. Tabby never voiced a single doubt, however. Her support was a constant, one of the few good things I could take as a given. And whenever I see a first novel dedicated to a wife (or husband), I smile and think there's someone who knows. Writing is a lonely job. Having someone who believes in you makes a lot of difference. They don't have to make speeches. Just believing is usually enough."--Stephen King, On Writing

Amen, Mr. King.

My wife, Lisa, is a CNA specializing in home health care. She deals with sick people, dying people, paralyzed people. During the years that I was trying to put a sentence together she never discouraged me, never said that maybe I needed to take up under…

Labor Day wishes

Hey everyone. Happy Labor Day to you and I hope it was a relaxing time. It was for me...I had to deal with living in Florida and a Hurricane that came through. Although the brunt of it missed my city, we had to deal with rain and some wind and it made for a rainy wet holiday.

Where do you get your ideas?

I get that question a lot and my answer is always the same: I have no idea. It just happens. Sometimes I play a what if...what if Logan did this or what if he had a client who did this and then see if there is a story in there to be mined.

That's what writing is. It's taking that idea and digging into it, mining the details and nuances out of it; fleshing the characters out until they come alive to you and live in that world and on the page.

It's a great feeling when you do that.

As I write this the house is quiet. My wife has been quite busy with work lately and has another long day tomorrow so she is in bed early. My son's dog is spending the night with us and she is…

THE JUDAS MAN

Image
IT'S HERE

Finding a dead man on his houseboat was not what John Logan needed. Things have become uncertain with Teri and Logan just wants to know why she's not returning his calls. The last thing he wanted was to come home to a murder. The dead man on Logan's houseboat leaves few clues to who he was or why he was there. Who killed him and why? And why are people suddenly after Logan? Add an enthusiastic reporter snooping around asking dangerous questions and things could get deadly.
The investigation will bring Logan back to the one place he'd swore he'd left for good and reveal secrets his former bosses don't want to know.
Get it here!
