SIGNED copies of my debut short story collection, In the Season of Blood and Gold, are now available for pre-order! Here’s what Robert Morgan (The Road from Gap Creek) has to say about the book:

“Able Dog” Published in Crime Factory Issue 12
I heard this morning from Cameron over at The Crime Factory, and they’ve selected “Able Dog” for CF12! I’ve been enjoying these short crime stories of late, and like “Plata o Plomo,” this story is set against the world of aerial drug-smuggling.
