Hi Terry. Thanks for reading WHAT HAVE YOU DONE. I'm glad you liked it. Winter Hill was a self-published book that is no longer in print. It may be rereleased in the future, but for now I'm afraid you'll have to wait until Aug 6th when I KNOW EVERYTHING comes out. And thanks for being my library advocate!!

In 25 years I've never had writer's block. If I had, I think I'd just write through it. As they say, you can always fix bad writing, but you can't fix blank pages.

For me, the best thing about being a writer is being able to detach from reality for a few hours a day and have control over a world I want to create. I also enjoy killing people in various ways (only on paper!). It's very cathartic.

Every writer tells aspiring writers not to stop writing. You know why? Because it's the best advice we can give. The only way to get better is to keep doing it. Any professional has years and/or decades of practice behind them. Writing is no different. Learn the craft, practice, study the market (professional writing is a business too), and keep submitting. It took me 25 years to get a book deal. Persistence is the key.

I'm about a week away from finishing the first draft of my latest thriller. More to come...

I was born with it. I can't explain it. I get an idea and it festers for a little while, and soon the compulsion to write is too strong to ignore. Once I start, I don't stop until the book is done. It's just the way I'm wired. Writing is always the best part of my day.

I've grown up in a police family and I know firsthand about that strong bond officers have. I also know about the bond family can have. I wanted to play those bonds against the backdrop of a murder where one person thinks the other is guilty and see if those bonds are strong enough to hold.
