finishing as a semi-finalist and Dangerous Alliance being selected as
one of seven first in category winners. I recently signed a contract
for the third novel in the series, Carnage in Singapore. Work on my
fourth novel in the series, Ultimate Escalation, is underway, as is
the first book in a new series, A Cartel's Revenge.
I
also penned A Dangerous Occupation, a winning entry in the August
2016 Wild Sound Writing and Film Festival Review short story
