Interview with Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith (National Police Association)

/

I had the absolute pleasure of being interviewed by retired sergeant, Betsy Brantner Smith, for the podcast she does for the National Police Association.

Some of you might be familiar with Betsy, as she has appeared on a number of news shows, including Newsmax, and Fox.

Despite some minor technical glitches (rural internet being what it is), we managed to have a great time. Betsy is an awesome interviewer and we touched on a number of topics, including my career with the NYPD, my transition to author, and the state of policing.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Alex Taylor: The Killing Game (Cover Reveal)

/

Well, I know you guys have been more than patient with me and I promise that the end truly is near this time. The Killing Game, the fourth book in the Alex Taylor series, is about to be released.

The hardest part in this journey has been the fact that there was such a long pause from the start of the book, back in January 2021, to its completion. Not to make excuses, but a large part of 2021 involved extensive repairs on a home we were selling. The constant start / stop in the writing process gave the book a choppy feeling that I was ultimately unhappy with. So I set out to re-write it and I have finally achieved a book that I am pleased to release.

The Killing Game finds Alex being called in to assist the Concord Police Department in their investigation of a series of murders: Six women, all from different walks of life, found dead over a ten-month period, with no other clues except the manner in which they were killed. As she pursues the killer, Alex must juggle personal issues at home and overcome the political pressure that threatens to derail the investigation before it gets started. Can she convince the locals to follow the evidence, and avoid a seventh victim, or will they succumb to the bureaucratic roadblocks in order to save their careers?

Alex Taylor - Book 4 Update

/

Well, happy spring everyone. The birds are chirping; the grass is turning green, weather is utterly bi-polar, and yours truly is camped out behind his desk, putting the finishing work on the latest Alex Taylor novel.

It feels like forever since I published a new book and, truth be told, it isn’t that far off. The last book I released was The Crazy Eight Cowboys novella in January 2021. I regret the delay, but 2021 was a year of challenges for us. What started out as a simple house flip grew into a monster and consumed almost the entire year for us. Thankfully, we could sell the home in December, so we have closed that chapter of our life.

Since then, I have been back at work writing and I can happily report that I have finished the first draft of the latest Alex Taylor novel (title TBD) and it is presently in editing. Barring any unforeseen events, I should be able to release it this April.

I know many of you are waiting on the next James Maguire novel, as well as the follow-up book in the Crystal Coven series. All I can say is, please be patient with me; they are coming.
