Launch date, five days and counting. Tuesday, February 19, my new novel, The Girl Who Cried Wolf will launch as an ebook-only. Color me happy. I’ve been working on the book for several years while also working as a narrative designer in the video game business. (means I write the game story arc and the characters and can actually tell my wife while I’m screaming at the giant scorpions attacking me in Fallout New Vegas, ‘I can’t take out the garbage, I’m working!”)

TGWCWolf is a contemporary comic thriller – at least I think it’s funny. You can decide for yourself after reading the synopsis at the homepage link. The plot involves three environmental terrorists who kidnap an heiress, expecting her rich father to turn over his old growth timber holdings in exchange for her safe return. Good luck. It’s inspired by an O’Henry short story called “The Ransom of Red Chief,” about three kidnappers who snatch a little boy from a wealthy family, but the kid turns out to be such a toxic brat that they pay his family to take him back.
