Rick Acker writes high-octane suspense novels during breaks from his “real job” as a Supervising Deputy Attorney General in the California Department of Justice, which provides inspiration for his acclaimed legal thrillers.

Rick has also teamed with award-winning romantic suspense author Colleen Coble to pen bestsellers such as I Think I Was Murdered and their Tupelo Grove series. Library Journal praises their “dynamic author partnership,” and predicts they “will continue to produce hits.”

When Rick isn't writing or lawyering, you can usually find him with his wife Anette exploring in the hills east of San Francisco, watching a good movie together, or, of course, reading. You can visit him on the web at www.rickacker.com.

That's totally your decision. Readers do notice & comment on things they think are mistakes, so if you try to get your story published, an editor is likely to ask you to change the eye color. But if you're mostly writing for yourself and your friends, you can do whatever feels right for the plot & character.(less)

No sophomore slump for Niemeyer! This book is even better than his dynamite debut, Atomic Peril. The twists and turns will keep you up late, and you just might learn a thing or two about the fascinating world of nuclear forensics.
When Justice Comes by Colleen Coble
"They survived a deadly feud, financial ruin, and grief that would have broken anyone. Now Hez and Savannah just want to bring their nephew home — and somehow, that might be the hardest fight yet.

“You are what you are when the devil whistles.”
Rick Acker

“She felt like an oyster. Specifically, she felt like the oyster in a parable told by the speaker at her church’s women’s retreat a few years ago. The speaker had said that we should all treat our cares and worries the way an oyster treats a grain of sand. We should cover them with layers of prayer. Not just once or twice, but hundreds—even thousands—of times. If we keep at it long enough, that painful object in our soul will eventually turn into a beautiful pearl. And the larger and more jagged the object, the bigger and more beautiful the pearl it would ultimately become.”
Rick Acker, Guilty Blood
