New Jersey, 1928. Two people will come to understand what they must give up in order to have the chance to build something better together.
The Cons made a living by separating fools from their money and they thought they found a big score. But it’s anyone’s guess whether this particular game will end in luxury, a jail cell, or an early grave.

Uh oh… Friday the 13th.
At least I’m starting the day off right with a good cup of coffee.

Happy New Year to all!
While I continue to work diligently on my next book (though I fully admit the process is particularly troublesome this time around) I decided to start something new. Please find the link below to the first installment (of what I hope will be many) of the Jalopy Patrol; a new feature where I go around finding and exploring junkers, jalopies, and wrecks on the side of the road (or wherever).

Good morning Gals & Pals. Any lingering semblance of summer weather beat a hasty retreat from these parts last week, and it’s safe to declare – by the thermometer and the calendar both – that autumn has arrived. Soon it will be time to switch over to the jack o’ lantern mugs and watch the leaves change color.
Speaking of colors… I recently had a great conversation with Cleanne Johnson over at the Beauty of Colors podcast. She is all about loving self, the power of I AM, getting out of the box, and helping others along their journey in life. We spoke about interesting history, writing, and research. Check it out.

About the time a town blew up in northern New Jersey. Read here about the Navy Hill Explosion.

The nights are getting shorter and the days are getting warmer. My daily routine finds my switching to cold brew coffee but remaining steadfast in putting words to paper.
The cover for my next novel, The Safe Game can be found in the Books section and I’m anticipating a July 2022 release. As with Jalopy, the setting returns to a (different) lake resort town of New Jersey during the Interwar Period, but this time follows a trio of criminals who discover they have bitten off more than they can chew.
December 9, 2021
Running a free Kindle promotion for Jalopy today, which is being advertised through https://fkbt.com/
Hoping to get the word out.
