Hello! I've got two mystery series going at this time, the Frank Cole Mysteries and the Jack Glynn Playwright series. They're all available online in hardcover, paperback, or ebook (Kindle and Nook) and the Frank Cole series is currently being re-released by Harlequin Worldwide Mystery. I hope you like them.

I've done a lot of things over the years. I graduated from West Point in 1985 and served as an Infantry officer in the US Army for the next decade. During that time I was stationed in the US and Panama, traveled much of the world, and fell out of thirty airplanes and helicopters. After that, I earned a master's degree in International Affairs from The Fletcher School and worked as a risk manager for a major northeastern bank.
After trying to get published for many years, I won the St. Martin's Press Malice Domestic writing competition in 2005. St. Martin's Press published the winning entry, MURDER IN EXILE, in 2006; the sequel, REDUCED CIRCUMSTANCES, in 2007; and the third book in the Frank Cole/Exile series, EXILE TRUST, in June of 2008. The fourth book in the series, CONTEST OF WILLS, was released in September 2010.
 
My latest book, DEATH TROUPE, begins a theater-themed series featuring the playwright Jack Glynn. Here's a breif intro:
 
The Jerome Barron Players have a problem. Known as Death Troupe, once a year they perform a high-end murder mystery play written specifically for that season's host town. Unfortunately, their playwright has just killed himself.
Enter Jack Glynn, Death Troupe's original playwright before his now-deceased writing partner stole his lead-actress girlfriend. Traveling to the snow-covered town of Schuyler Mills, Jack soon learns that his former friend's suicide may have been caused by a shadowy Death Troupe stalker . . . and that he might be the new target.
