Great news!  I'm once again able to offer a limited number of reduced-rate book signing events , thanks to my publisher, St. Martin's Press.  At this point we're mostly planning for 2017, but I still have a few spots open in the fall.

This comes after an exciting few months of launching The Bible Doesn't Say That that took me up and down the east coast, and as far west as Texas.  The book was also featured in venues ranging from the Houston Chronicle to the Toronto Star, and even on air in Ireland, of all places.

If you haven't see it yet, take a look at the on-line table of contents for details.

In other news, many of you have asked me where Kai Goodman of The Warwick Files went.  Don't worry.  He's not gone. 

Keep reading for more.  Then write back.  I always enjoy feedback.

As I put my 2016-2017 schedule into place, I'm delighted that St. Martin's has made it possible for me to offer some reduced-rate book signing events.  Most of the fall dates are taken, but I may be able to slot in another one or two, depending on details, and I still have availability in 2017. Be in touch with me directly to take the first steps.

And if you're wondering about my presentation style, a good place to start is this clip from South Africa:

I had to take a break from my thriller series The Warwick Files to write my latest two books for St. Martin's, but don't worry.  Police Chief Kai Goodman is still hard at work.  (And there are still officially no spies in Warwick.)  Look for an announcement in the not too distant future.

Travel Spotlight

This travel spotlight comes from Shark Valley, FL in the heart of the Everglades.  I stopped off there after my trip to Palm Beach Gardens.

And, still reveling in my trip to South Africa, I've collected many of my photos in one place:

I tend to post my photos on Instagram and 500px.  Why not follow me?
Quora
I've started answering questions from time to time on a website called "Quora," which functions as a massive on-line Q&A session with the "mission ... to share and grow the world's knowledge."  It's an experiment for me.  Some of the questions, like " What are the most common misconceptions about the Bible?" or " What is the significance of the Biblical phrase: 'Son of Man'?" seem worthy of discussion to me.  Others do not.

At any rate, take a look.  I'd love to know what you think.
