Sorry I haven’t posted anything for a few weeks—I moved to a new home.  The experience was all-consuming and a lot of work.  But now that I’m settled, I can get back to writing and a normal life.

The great news is I was able to put the finishing touches on a new collection of short stories.  It’s called, Taste of Temptation and will be published September 3, 2016!  I’ll keep you informed about the details.

The book contains four short stories of crime.  Generally, they’re about ordinary people who are faced with the temptation of doing what they think is right—but would have to commit a crime to accomplish it.  Find out what they happens to them.  I’ve also included the first four chapters of my new full-length book called, The Inca Code.  I’m hoping that will be published before the end of the year.  It’s the second story in the Pete Chandler series.  He’s an investigator for the U.S. Export/Import Bank—which takes him all over the world to solve crimes.  In The Inca Code, Pete travels to South America to investigate a close friend’s mysterious death.  Once there, Pete becomes the one who is threatened as he confronts the villains at Machu Picchu.  If you’d like to find out what it’s like to go to Ecuador and Peru, take a look at this “sneak preview” of my new book.
