ISBN: 9781523715190 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. I really enjoy writing about my alter ego. It makes me think that given the same set of circumstances I would react in the same manner. I'm not sure that's true but I can hope. I've been told that the amount of pain inside me must be overwhelming to write about a man that can kill without remorse. But I feel as though it's just the opposite. Evil puts Dr. Bob in a position that gives him no choice. The men that hunt him live by no rules. Their end is to have money and power that they try and achieve at anyone's expense. Few can fight back; Dr. Bob and Grace are two of the few. With this...

I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it all but I finally figured it out. I had Stricland from the very start. I've met several people that didn't talk much and were very good at what they did. Usually the only thing that thing that stirred them from their appointed tasks was a beautiful woman. In slides Scanlon. As you'll see from all my books I've got a thing for the younger chicks that are around forty something. Of course she's tall, beautiful and legs that...

I think the time has come for all of us to take part in the effort against human trafficking and drugs. Two of the most devastating scourges on our society. The number on the front of this book is real and all you have to do when you see this blight occurring is make a phone call to it or 911. As someone said once. "It's when good men do nothing...etc." Of course this is a novel but nothing is impossible. We have to change things now and make it right again. We can do it and I'm hoping that the pen is mightier than the sword. I'm going to keep writing about the ugliness of it all, hoping and...

I thought I'd put up a picture of my Grace, just to show everyone why I've dedicated all my novels to her. She's beautiful isn't she. Of course that was in her younger years when she modeled and virtually terrorized the hearts of men. Even this joker. And why she picked me I'll never know but I've never looked a gift horse in the mouth. And most importantly she's as beautiful on the inside as out. I love writing these novels of the Bob and Grace series because they are so easy when I'm around my muse. She inspires me and makes love to me with her eyes. Those blue pools I talk about so much....

Day of the Dogs 4
ISBN: 9781530081998 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 474 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. I have fun writing this kind of book. The characters take over inside my head and all I do is transcribe. The toughest to write, of course, is the Old Indian. No one has ever called me cryptic. To me he is the main man, ever looming over everyone's shoulder waiting to jump out of the page and into your heart with a campfire, a skillet, a fire stick, and a stack of fry bread ready to heat up and eat. He's that voice in our head that tells us the right things to do. With it we understand right and wrong. Cryptic as he may be, he always leaves enough for you to know.
