The Start of Something Big
This is a book Ana and I have been dreaming of writing for 17 years. It is our love letter to the world.

What I Do
I have a passion for great writing. Excellence is one of my most cherished core values.
The exquisite beauty of a powerful idea expressed in words, whether through a single sentence or a 700-page novel, is something that has stirred my soul since as long as I can remember.
So . . . What I do: I search out transformational ideas and stories and bring them to life in words.

A Novel in Need of a Name
“A deserted city street. The distant ruckus of drunken revelers, laughter, Christmas carol fragments. Under the faint glow of street lights a flurry of snowflakes drifts to the frigid cobblestone surface, then swirls aside as a girl’s bare feet sprint past…” These are the opening words of my next novel. We have the first 12 pages and a plot. What we don’t have is a title. Any suggestions?
Believe
One year ago, all we had was a manuscript. A title followed by 100,000 words. Now we’re publishing our first novel, with this quote from Lee Child (of Jack Reacher fame) on the front cover: “An instant classic—maybe an instant legend.” Which goes to show: When you have someone who believes in you wholeheartedly and without reservation, there is no mountain you can’t climb.
Mystery on a Floating City
It was two years ago today, on a cold Tuesday morning, when I set foot on board the USS Abraham Lincoln, a warship roughly the size of the Empire State Building lying on its side that carries some six thousand men and women. What if one of them was a serial killer? That’s what I was there to find out.
