Guess Who!

Hi! This is what I look like when I’m not writing, which means I never look like this.

But clicking on my image will get you to Amazon where you’ll have fun buying all my books.
No, really, you will.
I’m a fiction author. Would I lie?

I've decided to spend the rest of my life writing things I'd enjoy reading. Who knows? You might enjoy them, too.

He's so opinionated!

The Anatomy of Motive: The FBI's Legendary Mindhunter Explores the Key to Understanding and Catching Violent Criminals

The Anatomy of Motive: The FBI’s Legendary Mindhunter Explores the Key to Understanding and Catching Violent Criminals

by John E. Douglas

I read this book because I worked in parallel fields for many years and also for research into some current writing projects. Anatomy of Motive is a good read, informative without going into horrific detail. A good source book.

Every Love Story Is a Ghost Story: A Life of David Foster Wallace

Every Love Story Is a Ghost Story: A Life of David Foster Wallace

by D.T. Max

1) I vacillated between a 1 or 2 star rating for Every Love Story is a Ghost Story.
2) I read this side by side with Jonathan Eig’s "Ali: a life" (a better book if you’re into biographies, my opinion).
3) I opted to read Every Love Story…

Ali: A Life

by Jonathan Eig

I’ll start by noting that Ali has been one of my heros for much of my adult life. Sometimes it’s good to learn some of our heros’ histories, other times not.
As biographies go, this was better than most I’ve read and seemed synoptic with…

Colossus:The Forbin Project

Colossus:The Forbin Project

by D.F. Jones

(I had to enter this book so apologize now for errors. I was surprised Goodreads didn’t have it).
This was the first recognizable "Man v Machine" book I read. I probably read others before this but this one came to me when I was working …

No Is Not Enough: Resisting Trump’s Shock Politics and Winning the World We Need

really liked it

No Is Not Enough: Resisting Trump’s Shock Politics and Winning the World We Need

by Naomi Klein

This is an interesting book that (in my opinion) doesn’t go far enough. Yes, some may claim there’s a problem and Klein does a dynamite job detailing what that problem is.
Where are the actionable solutions? Where are step by step plans…
