Targets West In HB News!
Many thanks for HB News for their coverage of my new thriller, Targets West. Huntington Beach knows how to treat its authors. Will be doing book signings at Mystery Ink and Barnes and Noble in the coming weeks -- details to follow!
Who Is Lucas Wheeler?
Writers are often asked, "Who do you see as your main character, if they made a movie out of your book?"
It doesn't always work like that, at least, not for me. But my publisher always jokingly called Targets West, my new thriller, "the James Garner as James Bond book."
And that's ... pretty close!

J. Michael Waller Likes Targets West
I've been VERY LUCKY that some great people have said good things about my new thriller, Targets West. Here's what J. Michael Waller had to say ... and am I grateful!
“Targets West is a pulse-pounding triumph of suspense, blending the raw grit of the American West with the shadowy intrigue of global espionage. Scott McCrea crafts Lucas Wheeler as a modern cowboy hero—tough, principled, and unflinching—whose journey from Wyoming’s plains to London’s chaotic arenas bucks a wild ride of danger and deception.”

"Dr. Pop Culture" Likes Targets West!
I've been VERY LUCKY that some great people have said good things about my new thriller, Targets West. Here's what Charles Coletta, AKA "Dr. Pop Culture" had to say ... and am I grateful!
"Lucas Wheeler is a classic Western hero traversing the modern world and its darker corners of governmental espionage, international intrigue, and threats of terrorism. Author Scott McCrea has crafted a true “page turner” that kept me captivated from the first page until the exciting conclusion. His characters are so vividly drawn that they become people we truly are transfixed by as they maneuver through the intricate plot. If only Alfred Hitchcock were still around to adapt this winning adventure story for the silver screen!"
