My Current Projects
On this page is where I’ll share what I’m currently working on.
2023 Plans
Exciting news for fans of psychological thrillers! I am thrilled to announce that I am currently hard at work on my debut standalone novel in the genre. The writing process has been a great journey so far, and I am optimistic about publishing the book in early 2023. Stay tuned for more updates on this project.
For those who have been eagerly anticipating new additions to the Elijah Shaw series, you’ll be happy to hear that books #4 and #5 are planned for release in 2023.
In addition to my new projects, I am also giving my first three books in the Pete Maddox series a fresh new look with updated covers. And for those waiting for the fourth book in the series, “The Forgotten Spy”, rest assured that I am still working to bring it to you soon.
2022
I’m working on a new crime thriller series that will be set in my home country of Costa Rica. December 29, 2022 UPDATE – THE FIRST THREE BOOKS IN THIS SERIES ARE OUT NOW! CLICK HERE.
Featuring a Costa Rican homicide detective — an agent with the Judicial Investigation Organization (OIJ) — on the hunt for a serial killer targeting American tourists and expats in Costa Rica.
The detective enlists the help of an FBI Profiler to help him find the killer before he strikes again.
I’ve been wanting to write these books for over ten years, so I’m excited to see them come together, finally.
The first book is finished. It’s been line-edited and proofread.
As of October 1, 2021, I’m at the 27% mark of my target word-count goal for the second book.
New update! As of February 26, 2022, I’m at the 79% completion mark for the second book. I hit a block where I made little progress, but got back on track in February.
March 8, 2022 update. Book #2 is complete! Came in at 68,000 words. It’s now in the hands of my editor.
I started writing book #3 on March 4. I crossed over 10,000 word mark in four days, so it’s coming along nicely.
I have the third book in the series outlined and the log line for books 4-6 written. So I’m excited about this series.
