If you'd like to have any of my books, I'd be happy to send along a copy. It looks like you are a reader and a reviewer. That's a great plus for any author trying to build a platform. Thanks.

His new book is out: Shrader Marks: Keelhouse. It's two books for the price of one. It contains an updated version of Night Voices and its sequel, Keelhouse. When I started reading Keelhouse, I could not put it down, staying up way past my bedtime. The updated version of Night Voices is well worth the re-read, but if you haven't read Night Voices, you won't miss a thing because they are now together!
