I'm sure most fiction authors are asked the same question that I have been getting since the release of my second novel, 'Ice Cold.' "Where did you come up with that story?" I , personally, followed the premise 'write what you know.' I know police work, I know the New York Rangers, and I certainly know or have met some pretty strange people in my life. Throw them all together and you have 'Ice Cold.' Every character in the story is based on a real life, honest to goodness human being. Yes, the names have been changed to protect the insane, however these people do exist.Ask any police officer, especially one from a large city like New York, about the strangest people they have ever met or the most bizarre case they have ever worked on, and most will respond 'you wouldn't believe it if I told you.' Well, here it is. Be they fellow cops, victims, suspects, or just people that come along, most are characters straight out of central casting. These are the characters that make up 'Ice Cold.' The detective with numerous personal issues, the hockey-obsessed sergeant, the mysterious female goddess, the twisted love triangle,the rabid New York Ranger fans, and, of course, the killer. It was fun writing the story, even more fun living it.I hope you enjoy 'Ice Cold.'Ice Cold
