After more hours than I care to remember pounding the keyboard, slashing out mistakes with red ink and making sure all the non-writing parts align, it's time to release the first book in my new TURN series. The Conflict Lands introduces Reed Kimble, a big-game hunting guide in the amazing land of Tanzania, a man who lives by his own rules and attacks life head-on. However, this existence is destroyed when he runs afoul of the most ruthless gang in a dangerous nation and has to fight for his way of life with everything he has.Reed's adventure is only beginning when bullets start flying during a hunt for lions and he finds uncut diamonds on the corpse of the shooter. Who sent these men into the savanna with a fortune in gemstones, and why are they willing to kill Reed to keep their secret? Things only get worse from there as Reed is forced to confront a danger lurking on the savanna that will stop at nothing to get Reed out of their way.The Conflict Lands is the first book in the TURN series, which I hope achieves one of my core tenets in writing; get readers to think while they enjoy a rollicking tale. Reed's troubles aren't entirely unlike those facing many Africans today, from wealthy hunters to the poorest natives whose lives are unimaginable to those of us fortunate enough to live in the developed world. I think it's my best story to date, and I suspect you will too. Keep an eye on my website for details surrounding the next book in the TURN series, which is being edited now.As always, thanks for stopping by, and happy reading everyone.
