NEWS: VENGEANCE ROAD, due for release Oct 2009

Hope you all had a great summer. I travelled quite a bit and am now kicking up the pace on writing my 10th book, Vengeance Road. I may have discussed some of this with you. Vengeance Road will launch my 3rd reporter series. If you like Jason Wade and Tom Reed, you'll like love this series. While Tom and Jason take a break, I'm throwing everything I can into VR. It is due for release in paperback in October 2009. But Jason Wade's break won't last much longer.
