This time last year I was sitting on a plane with delusions of being able to write while traveling to Nashville.
I was about to finish my first novel, What's in a Name? and I nearly did it in 15 days. It ended up being 17 due to travel and a flu like bug my daughter and I contracted after my return from California. 2020 was supposed to be a year of travel for me.

The following passage is the prologue from Chasing the Lead. No release date yet, but I’m ready announce the time frame. This book will be ready sometime in June and you’ll be able to purchase or win a signed paperback copy at RomanitConn 2021 in Connecticut in July! Buy your tickets now and I’ll see you there!

“Come out and face me, you prick!” he hurled the insults knowing they would have little effect. But what was he to do? All his money and power meant nothing now. In this moment, this shadow showed him exactly how powerless he was.
A low rumble started in the man’s belly and rose out his throat. He cocked the gun again.
“Please,” Carl tried again. “I have money, I can give you anything you want.”
