It’s been 5 months since my last newsletter in which I announced publication of Angel’s Legacy, Book 5 of the Linc Malloy Legacy series.

As promised I went back, finished, and published Linc Malloy Legacy Book 6, now entitled, Rip City Legacy.

The Edwerd Chronicles is available free on Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, Kobo, and Apple Books (Apple Books is ONLY accessed through their app. No browser or URL access). Unfortunately, Amazon would not grant a price match, so there it is 99 cents. 

A Washington DC lawyer insists Linc Malloy is the only pilot to deliver a kidney to a dying child. Clandestine forces from Linc’s Afghan past conspire to prevent the delivery.

Who would want a child dead?

A smoke trail arcs upward toward the heat plume of a tiny jet.

Bullets thump into an army sedan.

An engine surges. A car flips. A kidney is lost.

Trusting in Allah, he pried up the lining of one shoe, and slipped the key under.

Who would want a terrorist loose in America?

As a bureaucratic, multi-agency taskforce spins its wheels, Linc and Marsh risk it all in a coast-to-coast quest through Anarchist enclaves and rural Oregon to save a little girl and stop a horrifying Rip City Legacy.

So many words, so little time.

31 July marked the end of The Adventure Writer’s Competition for which I am honored to be a judge. This year's Round One had 71 entries which the judges winnowed down to ten for Round Two. The judges then further judged and ranked the top ten, rankings were tallied, and the top three novels determined. The top three went on to Dirk Cussler, Clive Cussler's son, who will read them and choose the winner on 25 September.

Pacifica (Linc Malloy Book 7) is through plotting and with about a quarter of the narrative in AVFD (Author’s Very First Draft). In a departure from earlier books, the story takes place in just two days (really a few hours) entirely on the Royal Research Ship Pacifica near the Galapagos Islands.

Work also continues at various rates on a few long-term projects. A paranormal psychological thriller entitled, Entangled, taking its name from the quantum physics effect, is further along in concept, research, plotting, characters, and with a few tentative scenes roughed out.

Of course, the science fiction story has had some small progress as has the sequel to Do No Harm.

As a reminder, in addition to ratings and reviews on Amazon, opportunities to rate and review my work are available on Goodreads and Bookbub.
