All Things Investigative

11/09/2024

You may have known me for many years as an investigator, a private investigator for the past twenty-seven, and more recently as a coach of private investigators with a series of books on the business of private investigation, but did you know I write crime fiction?
In two weeks, I am launching my eighteenth book, Hyde, where Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde chase Jack the Ripper around the cobblestone streets of Whitechapel London in the fall of 1888. The premise has attracted much attention from writers and readers alike. It is my most ambitious project yet and for the first time, I am creating beautiful dust jackets, hardbacks, and an audiobook where each character will have their own distinct voice to go along with the e-book and paperback.
I am using the Kickstarter platform and the pre-launch link is here .

Please consider backing the project. Thanks in advance.

It's not every day you get to interview your dream guest. I waited for 100 episodes before summoning the courage to ask Joseph Wambuagh. He said yes! His writing about cops set the standard and he created a whole new way of looking at the boys and girls in blue. You can tell by listening I was a nervous fanboy.
