I know you have just released your new book, but all the reviews on Amazon and on Good Reads have been five star. What you say is the reason people are responding to your book so well?

I would say it is partly because the characters are so lifelike. You are given insight into the world of the criminals. You will understand why they make the choices they do--not that their reasons excuse them. Nevertheless, the bad guys aren't completely evil, and on the flip side, the good guys have their share of issues as well. No one is perfect, but everyone has choices.

The other reason people seem to be to enjoying the book -- aside from the many unexpected plot twists -- is that I use a lot of dialog. Scenes move quickly and the story unfolds through the unique voices of the characters.

Take a read and let me know what you think! (less)

I quickly find myself emersed in the world of my characters, and I'm off and writing again!(less)
