Opening Lines
A recent story about Stephen King and the effort he puts into the words that open his tales had me looking back at those which begin my novels. In order from newest to oldest I present…my opening lines.
From Cop Killer:
A fat jogger found the first victim.
From Confessions:
I am dreaming when the phone rings.
From All For One:
Joey Travers, president of Miss Austin’s sixth grade class at Windhaven Elementary School, stood from where he had knelt next to Guy Edmond. The blood-smeared bat was in his hands.
From The Donzerly Light:
His hands had been cuffed and his eyes taped over for several hours when he heard footsteps approach the small space in which he was being held.
From Top Ten:
He cut the woman to calm her down.
From Simple Simon:
Keiko Kimura stood near the foot of the bed, a sheer white peignoir hanging from wispy straps to veil her still enticing form, thinking both that the American’s fledgling erection was unimpressive and that his blood was going to be the devil to get out of fine silk.
From Capitol Punishment:
“Nine-one-one, what is your emergency?”
From October’s Ghost:
The Cuban sharpshooter, aiming from a rise above the clearing, trained the crosshairs first on the green shoulder boards that adorned his target.
From Cloudburst:
The calf-high, black leather boots hit the carpet with a muffled thud.

My New Thriller ‘Cop Killer’ Is Now Available
The first book in my new ‘District One’ thriller series is now available.
Cop Killer is the story of detectives Danny Owen and Jack James. One is a hard-charging young investigator pushing the limits of both his professional and personal lives. The other is a seasoned veteran, cool and methodical, working to tame the young cop assigned as his new partner.
But their new pairing is tested when a series of murders hits close to home, and each has to make the choice to pursue the killer by the book, or on their own terms.
The book is available for Kindle, Nook, and Kobo Reader immediately, and will be available for iBooks and in paperback in the next few days.
Click HERE or on the cover of the book for purchasing options.
Thanks! This was a very fun book to write.
And look for the next book in the ‘District One’ thriller series, Maiden America, in early 2014.

Site Redesign Coming
Just FYI, a lot is going to change on the site over the next couple weeks. Some things will disappear, others will shift a bit. All part of switching to a more robust backend with a new design.
