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.

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?
