New Book: James Maguire Origin Story

Those of you who familiar with the James Maguire series will know that before he joined the NYPD he was a US Navy SEAL. I have had an idea sitting on the backburner for a few years and decided that I would pursue it and have enjoyed writing this new story.

This story centers around Maguire’s time in the SEAL teams and has him being sent to Mexico on a clandestine operation. I don’t want to give too many details away, so I’ll just attach an image and let your imagination run with it.

The book is about 80% complete and I hope to have it available shortly. I’ll update you on the progress as it gets closer to publication.

Once again, that you for your continued support.

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?

So this just happened - MWA

There are professional milestones in our lives that are so incredible that it's difficult to describe them adequately. It is a culmination of dedication and hard work that says, ‘You earned this.’

For me, the milestones in my NYPD career occurred when I put on the shields of Police Officer, Detective, and Sergeant. They were the outward representation of the blood, sweat, and tears I put in to achieve each of those ranks.

When I retired in 2005, I wondered if that would be the end. I’m proud to say they weren’t.

In 2013, when I published my first novel, Perfect Pawn, I wondered where the road to becoming an author would take me. It is no secret that most mystery authors aspire to be the next James Patterson, Ken Follett, Lee Child, Mary Higgins Clark, John le Carré, or Joseph Wambaugh. Why wouldn’t we? They are the titans in the mystery field.

So what does this have to do with me?

Well, I might not have attained their literary status (yet), but I achieved a significant milestone this morning. As of today, I have joined their ranks and have officially been inducted as a fellow member of the Mystery Writers of America!

To say I am both shocked and deeply honored would be a gross understatement.

When I began writing, the thought of being a member of this prestigious organization was nothing more than a wistful dream and yet, seven years later, here I am. But I would be remiss if I didn’t take a moment to thank you, my readers, for providing me the opportunity to achieve this great honor. Without your support and continued patronage, this would never have been possible.
