Today, I’m covering the story of the story behind SCAPEGOAT.
When his son is critically injured on a river trip, Patrick Flint finds himself in a race against time and a gang of outlaws who are determined the Flints won’t make it out of Wyoming’s Gros Ventre Wilderness alive.
What is real in SCAPEGOAT?
That my father is an obsessive about being early/on time/sticking to a plan and that he is a penny pinching son of a gun! (I thought of the book as “cheapskate” as I was writing it). And that he...
Today, I’m covering the story of the story behind SNAGGLE TOOTH.

On June 21st, I celebrated summer solstice by authorizing the early release of the paperback of SITTING DUCK (Patrick Flint #7)! Ebook release date is June 29th — moved up a whole month! Woot! Hardcover and large print should be showing up all over the inter webs any day now. Our only logjam is audio. I don’t even have BIG HORN done yet (about to miss my extended deadline, sigh). Look for audio mid-August.
I'm starting over from scratch with a fresh, clean site. I hope you enjoy it and find what you're looking for. I will begin re-posting some old favorite blog posts soon. Stay tuned...
