The Road to Pienza

Hello friends,

I've had a year of poor health, including an extended hospital stay and major surgery. However, now on the mend and the sequel to The Road to Montepulciano, "The Road to Pienza" will be released very shortly.

I've registered my own business and publishing imprint and will be issuing the book myself. Files have been approved by Ingram Spark, and it's looking like a December release.

I'll keep you all informed. Stay well!

The Perfume of War now live

Hello there

It might take a few days to filter down to all the various sites, but The Perfume of War, the fourth book in my WW2 spy-thriller series is now available on Amazon and Smashwords.

Over the next week or so, it will start to appear on all the other sites and in physical bookstores.

I really hope you all enjoy this fourth installment of our two favourite war heroes, Tommy and Shorty.

The Road to Montepulciano

Well, it's been released and already there's been great private feedback by email through my website.

Seems like everyone likes the touches of heat in the storyline, but the feedback is that it enhances the murder mystery.

If you enjoy reading this story, leave a few sentences on Goodreads! I'm doing an interview with the House of Mystery on NBC this week about the book; it's creating quite a bit of interest.
