I never knew who that lady was, and now 75 years later, there is no one still alive who can tell me the story of this lady.

I am currently working on a novel inspired by that mysterious lady. The novel will follow Randall Oliver, the protagonist from In Search of the Yellow Dog and Treasure of Money Hill, who retires from practicing law in Dallas to return to his hometown. He has forgotten about that lady but eventually learns that she was murdered and the case was never cleared. He gets additional information, but many important facts are missing. He undertakes to solve this cold case, and his investigation runs afoul of the FBI and other three letter government agencies and the investigation takes him to the Middle East, where he encounters multiple persons attempting to do him harm.(less)

The sequel will feature more action than the first two books in the series. Although Randall is beginning to age, he maintains his proficiency in firearms and hand-to-hand combat, needing these skills to rescue his colleague, Cheryl, from terrorists and extract a former employee from a hostage situation in Yemen.(less)

Selecting Character Names

As a novelist, when creating a character, I sometimes grope for a name that fits that character's personality and ethnic background. I often make up names, sometimes using parts of the names of people I know from my past experiences.

I have found a website that generates names - you first input gender, year of birth, and ancestral background. I have used that website for the names of several charac Read more of this blog post »

“There are some members with rather derogatory attitudes about everything from race to religion, but the free-speech atmosphere is refreshing. The whole point of free speech is to be able to make comments that others might find offensive.
Though I do wish some of them were more intelligently made.”
