So thrilled to see ALTER EGO out in paperback today!
Eternally proud of this standalone sequel to SECRET IDENTITY, which was an immediate USA TODAY-bestseller, Anthony Award-nominee, and got rave reviews from all over.

Well, shit. Was just reading a couple stories in the new issue of Dark Yonder when I came across this. What a class act Eryk Pruitt and Katy Munger are! Thank you, both!
Now grab the new issue. I mean, have you even seen the table of contents?!

I created, contributed to, and edited this series... so when it was orphaned by D&O Books closing down, it only made sense to publish them. I'm proud to announce that Code 4 Press (my imprint usually reserved for my own work) will re-issue A GRIFTER'S SONG!

Big thanks to Pistol Jim for publishing my story "Night Move" as part of the NAILS IN THE COFFIN series. I really had a lot of fun going back to my noir roots with this one and weaving it into an Atlantic City setting.
Kind of like going home again…
