As a young man Zach Roper dreamed of becoming a professional golfer and he might have had the talent to make the grade, but an early marriage and children sent him in a different direction. He became a cop, pounding a beat at first, then graduating to detective work. He was a damned good detective and took pride in his work. Then came a well-earned retirement and, at age 50, he decided to take a whack at making the PGA's Championship Tour. There was nothing to hold him now, divorced, children grown, nothing to keep him from focusing on his golf game...nothing except murder, sexual stalking,...

Colonel Jack Faulkner, a retired Military Intelligence Cold Warrior, doesn't have any money troubles, but it seems that many of those around him do, including his soon-to-be ex-wife, her lover, and an old high school and college chum turned famous financial genius. As investment bubbles threaten to burst Col. Jack begins to take an interest in high finance. It is merely out of curiosity at first, the knee-jerk reaction of an old spy who spent 30 years digging out closely held secrets as a profession, but when he starts hitting big time paydirt it becomes an obsession, and that obsession leads...

The detective, golf, and bed partners duo of Zach Roper and the Thai Princess untangled some tough cases of murder, sexual stalking, embezzlement and political intrigue in "Mixed Foursome: The Zach Roper Mysteries" volume one, while remaining competitive on the links. Now they are onto something new, kidnapping...or rather Zach is onto it as the Princess is the victim. It starts routinely enough, an invitation to play a celebrity pro-am tournament at a newly-built links-type course on one of the scenic San Juan Islands of Washington State. Plenty of free booze and bonhomie, which suits the...

I published my original "Tales of Ramasun" in February 2012 and moved on to other things like "Mixed Foursome: The Zach Roper Mysteries" about a golf-loving detective and his sexy sidekick, the Thai Princess, but more "Tales" kept drifting into my mind and I just had to write them down. Eventually I found that I had enough to make another book which I have unimaginatively entitled "Tales of Ramasun II." Hey if it's good enough for Hollywood and all those "Rocky" movies it might work on Amazon, anything might work on Amazon...or not. For those of you who read and appreciated my first effort...

Sex, murder, and golf. Now there's an interesting combination. That's what you will find in "Murder on the 19th Hole" when a retired police detective and wannabe pro golfer collides with a sexy sassy Thai "Princess" who is a retired LPGA pro, and the two of them collide with a corpse. First there's hot action on the golf course as Zach Roper and the Thai Princess tangle in a "Battle of the Sexes" tournament. Then there's more action as they tangle in bed, but their steamy romance is interrupted by a dead body, the body of the biggest star to make an appearance in the tournament. Is it murder,...

Retired Seattle PD detective Zach Roper is, at age 50, new to the professional golf Champions Tour, but no stranger to crime. He's pursuing his boyhood dream of pro stardom with single-minded devotion but limited success when a body turns up deep in the piney rough on treacherous number four of the Iron Ridge Country Club Black Course in the north woods of Minnesota. Not just any old body, either, but the body of the part owner of the financially shaky operation. Is it natural causes? The local Sheriff thinks so, but Zach doesn't. He wants to concentrate on golf. This may be his last chance...

Zach Roper and the Thai Princess are a red hot couple. They first crossed paths on a golf course in the north woods of Minnesota in Murder on the 19th Hole where they progressed from being competitors to lovers to crime solving partners. Now they are back on another golf course, but this one is on Phuket Island in Thailand, the Princess's home turf. They're golf partners this time, not rivals, in a new version of "The Battle of the Sexes." Not guys versus gals this time, but male-female teams squaring off against each other. They're up against the best and 100% focused on golf. The action on...

Zach Roper and the Thai Princess's last adventure Murder Takes a Mulligan got them a lot deeper into Thai politics than they had bargained for. They're confident that they will stay out of Thai politics this time because they're no longer in Thailand, but the good old USA, where politics are much more straightforward and less deadly....or are they? Once again they mean to concentrate strictly on golf, at least when they aren't preoccupied with sex, no murders, no crimes, no politics...no more 'cases' to solve. They get off to a promising start with an invitation to something called a "Fiesta...
