  • Available Now: A Brewing Storm


     
    While consulting with the NYPD on a recent case, I was inspired to re-examine the circumstances around the death of my beloved character Derrick Storm. It turns out, there was much more to the story than met the eye.
     
    I’m excited to be working with Hyperion to bring Derrick Storm fans a brand new adventure of mystery, action and intrigue. Look for it this May, wherever e-books are sold.

  • Fairy Tales, Scary Movies and the Power of Virtue

    If you know me, you know I love horror movies. Any good movie will effect you viscerally—comedies will make you laugh, romances will make your heart swell and break—but none of that compares to the way a good horror film shakes you to your core.
