But Joe finds more than he bargains for when he discovers Webb moments away from taking his last breath. Webb's bizarre final words are, "Little doll lost." Joe enlists Kool-Aid, his best friend to aid him. The two are thrust into a situation that quickly spirals out of control. Pursuing them are cold-blooded killers and a mysterious attorney named Shaw. Joe becomes aware that what he holds could literally change the world, but has this discovery come too late?
Genre of book: Mystery thriller
How do you come up with story ideas and characters? (if fiction)  I honestly can't say where my story ideas come from. Sometimes I'm driving along in my car when an idea strikes me, or I'm home playing with the kids. As far as characters, I pull them from my personal past and from people I meet. Any one can become a potential character in my stories if something about them stands out to me.
• When and how do you write?
Whenever I have a break I sit down and write, but mostly it's in the wee-hours of the night. I sit in front of the computer with my coffee or tea and let the words flow.
• What other authors inspire you? There are so many, but to name a few, Walter Mosley, Dean Koontz, Stephen L. Carter, Steve Berry, and James Patterson
• How did you find your publisher? Through online searches mostly, but also word of mouth from other authors.
• How long does it take you to write a novel? It differs, for my first drafts it spans from three months to a little more than a year. It depends on the complicity of the book I'm writing; The Friday House, definitely fit into the latter category.
• How do you overcome writers block? I don't really have writers block. If there's a period where my mind drifts, I temporarily move on to another story, or I start editing a first draft, until my full concentration returns to the project I'm supposed to be working on. The key is to never stop writing.
• What's your next project? I'm currently working on a fantasy adventure called, Taurus Moon: Relic Hunter. I have a first draft of a mystery completed called, The Promise. After I finish the draft to Taurus Moon, I will begin my second draft of The Promise. I also have some sequels I have to work on for XIII, The Friday House and the Joe Hooks series. I'm going to be pretty busy for a while.
• How long have you been writing and how did you get started?
