RAMBLE ON... - New cover design

I recently decided that the original cover design for my novel - RAMBLE ON... did not accurately reflect the tone and theme of the novel. Therefore, I have redesigned the cover using a very good free eBook cover creator.

The website I used is - CANVA. I'd recommend this site to anyone that is looking for a fast and easy cover creator.

THE DEBRIS OF A LIFETIME - Now available at AMAZON

I’m extremely pleased to announce that my latest novel -THE DEBRIS OF A LIFETIME is now available at AMAZON. It should be available at all major eBook vendors within a week or so.
One of the great things about being an independent author is having the ability to try a new genre of book. So, no alt history, crime noir or thriller this time. Just an old-fashioned story dealing with complicated family values, estrangement, secrets and revelations.
I hope you’ll enjoy it!
Parker Strachan has been estranged from his father for most of his adult life. Upon the death of his father, he returns to his childhood home to search for his inheritance. With his brother, Paul and his young son Adam they search through what has become a hoarder’s home to find the ancient family ring of the Strachan Clan. Parker is unprepared for what becomes an emotional journey of discovery. This search becomes an emotional and haunting journey through memories and events that had long been forgotten. Will the wounds of the past be healed? Will the ring be discovered? Will Parker find something that is far more important?

FIVE STAR REVIEW - Black Stockings-Red Blood

FIVE STAR REVIEW - Black Stockings-Red Blood
FOLLOWING IN CHANDLER'S FOOTSTEPS,

This is the kind of hard-boiled detective fiction that I thought went away when we lost Raymond Chandler. Like Chandler’s Philip Marlowe, there’s a lot not to like about the novel’s main character. Warren Cayne drinks, smokes, cusses, pops bennies and is deeply involved in an ongoing affair despite the fact he’s married. Literally battle-scarred, he’s a cynical former New York City detective and ex-Marine who’s counting the days until he’s done with the Army, too. A captain in the Military Police, he doesn’t respect his superior officers (and for good reason). He just wants out.
It’s never that easy, though, is it? Catching the wrong telephone call after the end of his shift, the unlucky Captain Cayne is soon tasked with solving a particularly grizzly double murder. Even after it appears the killings are the handiwork of a serial killer, he doesn’t hesitate to go down the mean streets of Paris. He might have hoped to return to the States, but now he has a job to do. No matter the price, he intends to get it done. Despite his excesses, Cayne is a believer in law and justice.
At the end of the story, he goes even further than I thought he would. It’s a dark and satisfying finale.
