Proud to be on sub with RETURNING FIRE, a poignant, politically charged thriller.
When a quiet suburban man loses his son in a school shooting, he targets NRA leadership in retaliation, leading to conflict with both his wife and the determined FBI agent tracking him.

This is deeply, deeply dangerous and completely outrageous.
Exclusive: The Trump Adm. has decided to permit the sale of "forced reset trigger" devices that enable regular firearms to fire like machine guns, a move that one person familiar with the matter said was “by far the most dangerous thing this administration has done” on gun policy.

Well the NIH has cancelled the Women's Health Initiative, the largest study of women in history
It has been running continuously since 1991 and has provided massive key knowledge about diseases in women

An entire nation was forever changed and lives were brutally ripped from us on this day 26 years ago in a preventable tragedy at Columbine High School.
Since then, there have been over 400 school shootings due to America’s failed leadership, lax gun laws, and capitulation to the gun industry.

“I wanted to call my dad, tell him I loved him.”
But she said she then heard the gunman approach and reload his weapon. She said she heard him calmly say, "Keep running."

Things like this NEVER have to take place, and that is the entire point.
The President is not powerless to prevent gun violence.
America is actively allowing this to happen due to failed leadership, lax gun laws, and complete capitulation to the gun industry.

Can't wait to bring this novel into the world. A.J. is a great partner for the journey.
So excited to announce I now represent @tedlong.bsky.social, author of a thriller that blew me away with its impact and social importance. Barreling toward an inescapable conclusion, it's a wild ride and a gut-punch reminder of the dire need for gun law reform.
