FINAL DEADLINE

When the day starts, newspaper editor Becket’s publisher wants to fire him. His staff lives in dread of the next layoff. And the woman he loves may be leaving before he can tell her how he feels.

Then three men brandishing AR-15s burst into his newsroom, demanding the newspaper print a manifesto reeking of conspiracy theories—or they will kill everyone. Can Becket outwit his foes and unpeel the mystery over what’s really behind the attack before the night erupts into murder?

Third Josey Angel Novel

AVENGING ANGEL

When a rash of shocking raids threatens the hope for peace on the Bozeman Trail, Josey and Annabelle ride into the fray to seek an accord with the rising Sioux leader Crazy Horse. The wary Sioux pose but one threat; also lurking is a gunfighter who blames Josey for the death of his son in the war, and a scientist whose views of human origins are as disturbing as his hulking henchman and army of mercenaries. All forces converge in a bloody, fiery climax, where Josey and Annabelle will need more than their fast-firing rifles to protect those they love and solve a mystery that threatens to betray all their efforts.

It’s not every day an author tells you NOT to buy his book, but hear me out if you’re one of my Volusia or Flagler County neighbors and you haven’t already gotten a copy of “Final Deadline.” First, what’s wrong with you? Kirkus Reviews called it “an exhilarating thriller” and the fictional setting is basically your backyard! More importantly, if you’ve held out this long, I’m hoping you’ll wait to until Saturday to get your copy. That’s when I’ll be at Novel Tea Book Shop to sign books and talk about writing. Let's support this gem of a small business by showing up between 4-7 p.m. on Saturday, November 2, coinciding with the monthly Ormond Art Walk. Please come out and join the fun. ... See MoreSee Less

Lori Catron and I attended our first mystery-murder dinner Saturday at Novel Tea Book Shop and had a blast. Great food, great setting, great fun, with lots of charming and hilarious people for the Roaring Twenties gangster-themed event. Stephanie Gonter promised the bookstore will host another. In the meantime, we’ll be back in less than two weeks to celebrate the launch of my latest novel, “Final Deadline.” Stop by the shop between 4-7 p.m. on Saturday, November 2 and enjoy a different form of murder and mayhem (costumes optional). ...
