    I'm supposed to add a chatter here. Okay, I'll talk about my work in progress. My newest novel is a stand alone Titled The Smudge.
    Paralegal Trisha Morgan only wants to use the ATM one nasty night and get home. She swipes a smudge from the screen and draws back a hand smeared with blood. She’s startled by a moan and finds a dying woman in the alley next to the bank. The woman thrusts a DVD into Trish’s purse while Trish is making a 911 call for help. The disk contains a video of a professional hit of a prominent Chicago businessman.
    And the murderer wants it back.

    Hey Dave!
    A cobbler as a protag?
    The thought intrigues.
    Maybe I should write a novel about a millner!
