Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards once said something to the effect that sometimes you don’t have to write a song. You just have to be there to receive it. I feel the same way about writing a novel. The characters decide where they want to go. It’s up to the author to take them there. #writers #authors

If you love a gripping mystery, a determined sleuth, and twists you’ll never see coming, the Jake Scott Mystery Series is for you.

Jake Scott was once a respected journalist. Now retired and lonely, he finds himself drawn back into danger time and again, uncovering dark secrets others would rather keep hidden.

 In Searching for Truth, Jake uncovers a deadly secret buried within his own circle of breakfast friends, proving that no one is quite who they seem.

 In The Guardians of Truth, he infiltrates a shady organization preying on vulnerable people, putting himself at great risk to expose their lies.

 In The Secret Truth, what should have been a peaceful getaway turns into a nightmare when a deadly explosion shatters lives and uncovers a chilling plot.

And now…
Shadows of Truth on the Cruise Ship is about to set sail.

Jake thought a cruise would be the perfect escape, a chance to relax and leave danger behind. But when a murder rocks the ship, he realizes the killer is onboard, and the truth is buried somewhere in the endless ocean around them.

Will Jake find the answers before the ship docks? Or will the shadows claim another victim?

 Catch up on the series now, and don’t miss the next thrilling chapter, coming this September!
