About Author

Writing books makes the world go round

I write with the reader in mind. My goal is to entertain and describe a world, a life, an adventure or a setting in a way that touches the readers heart. Adrenaline rush or soothing comfort, whatever the reader is looking for, I want to provide in my books. Good guys will always win. Villains have to lose in my world.

Blake Franklin Investigations or the adventures and heroics of Quincy Ashford. West Virginia, Texas or soon – Wallingford Heights, Massachusetts are the locales for my books. Make yourself at home and enjoy a great book.

It is more than just writing books

It is creating worlds, living vicariously through our favorite characters, sometimes saying things we wish we had said to someone in our past.

Publishing

I am self-published and I work with other authors who wish to do the same. It is my pleasure to help them - not my business.

Selling Book

Getting my books into the hands of readers and then, hopefully, reading their reviews, is what drives me to write. I love the process.

Editing

All of my books have been self-edited but each one is going through a full professional edit for release.

Community

I am a member of more than two dozen Indie Author Facebook groups. Fans and Authors unite on these sites

Eight Days a Week

A Blake Franklin Investigation

A Salvadoran American loses his young niece and nephew to human traffickers and Blake Franklin comes up against a Colombian Cartel to save them. The Cartel’s traffic in drugs, guns, and human suffering and they use the porous southern border of the United States to further their business and spread their unique kind of misery. Law enforcement deals with the problem everyday, trying to protect American citizens, but when the victims are not American and considered illegal, there is not much effort exerted to help them. Blake sees no such distinction and will fight to save the lives of these innocents in his toughest, most dangerous case yet. The cartels are working Eight Days a Week to destroy lives and with Blakes team, their days are numbered.
