About Me

I'm lucky to do what I enjoy most, which is write. Mostly novels, but also scripts and TV pilots. Recently, I even got involved with Marvel comics (Foolkiller, Punisher, Wolverine), which has been a lot of fun. Researching my projects has put me in some bizarre situations; I've sneaked onto demolition ranges with Navy SEALs, swam with sharks in the Galápagos, gone undercover into mind-control cults, and undertaken other exploits which call into (further) question my common sense and IQ.

The Crime Writer, a BookSense and Book-of-the-Month Club/Mystery Guild Pick, was an INSTANT INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER, hitting the lists in Los Angeles, Ireland, the UK, and Australia, and with many more launches to come. It was also nominated for Best Novel of the Year by International Thriller Writers.To find out more about it, click the video belowTCW
