Suspense / Police Procedural / K9
Date Published: December 2015 2nd Edition
One Cop, One Serial Killer, One Witness
Who Will Survive?
Northern California’s elite Police K9 Units arrive at an abandoned warehouse after a high-speed chase and apprehend two killers after they have fled a grisly murder scene. This barely scratches the surface of a bloody trail from a prolific serial killer that leads to unlocking the insidious secrets of one family’s history, while tearing a police department apart.
Jack Davis, a top K9 cop with an unprecedented integrity, finds himself falling for a beautiful murder suspect and struggling with departmental codes.
Megan O’Connell, suffering from agoraphobia, is the prime murder suspect in her sister’s brutal murder.
Darrell Brooks, a psychopath who loves to kill, is on a quest to drive Megan insane for profit.
Everyone is a suspect. Everyone has a secret. Someone else must die to keep the truth buried forever. Silent Partner is a suspense ride along that will keep you guessing until the bitter end.
Interview
What is the
hardest part of writing your books?
The hardest
part of writing books, at least for me, is the balance of time and continued
focus. If I’m not careful I can suffer from procrastination, so I’ve taken
great lengths to balance my time and keep my book on a strict timeline.
What songs
are most played on your Ipod?
When I’m
writing or creating book outlines, I listen to classical piano music—basically
all of the classics Mozart, Bach, Chopin, etc. I don’t want to be distracted by
words or a toe-tapping beat. I prefer quiet music or none at all when I’m
editing, but with any other type of work I go for it with fun tunes—80s rock,
heavy metal, and even some fun recent Pop music.
Do you have
critique partners or beta readers?
I don’t have
critique partners, but I use beta readers. They are invaluable to book
projects. Oftentimes, they bring things to my attention both good and awkward
that I’ve never thought about before.
What book are
you reading now?
I wish I had
more time to read. Right now I’m reading The Kill Room by Jeffrey Deaver, and
non-fiction I’m reading California Desperadoes by William B. Secrest for
research.
How did you
start your writing career?
I am not sure
exactly how my writing career began because I’ve always been a writer of
articles, movie reviews, and copyrighting. Officially, my fiction career began
in 2008 when I published my first novel Compulsion.
My next book
Body of the Crime, a Chip Palmer forensics mystery, will be released spring
2016. It’s a new series that highlights a reclusive forensic scientist,
criminal profiler, and professional witness that helps special crime units to
track killers and all types of serial criminals.
