Not a Word by Lynwood Barclay — a tightly plotted thriller that explores family secrets and deception. Great example of concise, effective suspense writing. Read the full review: wix.to/uQSN63y #reviews @crimewriterscan @thrillerwriters @linwood_barclay

My TVPilot, Defending Innocence, the adaptation of my 2018 In Defense of Innocence novel has placed as a Quarterfinalist in the Creative Screenplay Pilot contest. It follows a female vigilante who hunts down people who exploit children. My biggest seller.

My 8th novel, Toy Soldiers, is in the bag. This is a Laura Amour thriller, the third installment in the series. My vigilante takes on the child soldier issue. Still a lot of editing to do, but the biggest hurtle is done. Hope to have it ready by mid-summer.

Cover Reveal! Last fall, I left my publisher, and I had to change the cover art, as the original was owned by the publisher. I once again approached Juan Padron & he didn't let me down. Check out my new cover. Mad Dog follows four teens as they battle a psychopath in the west end of Sudbury in 1975.
