I don’t know if I would classify it has a mystery but there are a few things that Cade Taylor experiences in my books “Trust No One” and “Grasping Smoke: A Cade Taylor Novel” that are things I actually did or went through myself.

Writer's block hasn't afflicted me yet. All good comics bomb, all good singers hit a flat note, all good athletes drop the ball sometimes. It is part of the human condition. Recognize it, accept it, dont let it define you and push through.

The release. The release of the story. The release of the story and the release of the emotions that hitch a ride on the finished manuscript.

Write. Just write. Surround yourself with the things and people who bring you comfort, support, and inspiration. Everyone has a story so why not let the world hear yours?

I am currently just embarking on my second novel. the working title is "You shouldn't have done that." It is more of a psychological thriller.

I have always enjoyed writing and the words with my debut novel "trust No One" just seemed to flow. It was possibly an elongated cathartic time. I would hole up in front of the computer and just let it surge out.

The genesis of my debut novel "Trust No One" was derived from my 10 years of being an undercover police detective in Miami, Florida. I was working large scale cocaine trafficking and high volume money laundering cases at a time when the intelligence and resources available were not as sharp as they are now. The success of those cases was less data driven and more street intuition and savvy focused. It was treacherous, uncharted, and dangerous. You really could "Trust No One" then.
