My agent is currently shopping my nonfiction book about how to detect lying. Fingers crossed.

The talk at the Lawrence, KS, library went well. There were 120 or so attentive and interested folks who asked a lot of good questions.

Profile Information

Hometown:
Bartlesville, OK
About Me:
I love mystery/suspense novels, as well as books that inform about investigative and forensic techniques, and books that advise how to write crime novels. I write novels, with four published, most recently The Second Savior, an LAPD mystery with homicide detectives investigating gang-related slayings, with a dollop of religious mysticism. I was a career FBI agent, and I've also written a non-friction book about how to detect when someone's lying. My agent will shop it to editors soon.

Good luck with your final revision.

Hi Mark,
Way to go, though moving is hard to do. How's the writing going? I had a book come out in February, my fourth--hooray. Another tale of suspense in Hawaii.
take care,
Debby

Hi, Mark -- Thank you kindly. Isn't it great to be at the point in our lives where we can do this? I can so clearly remember looking out at the world with utter bewilderment, especially when I picked up a well written book that proved there were people who had figured out a lot of it. Today, no matter how confusing passing events may seem, that sense of having no idea what is real or right or true is finally gone. It's absence is worth the price of watching my own youth go with it. In a perfect world I would have been at this point by the time I turned 25. In the real one I never forget how lucky I am to be here at all.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for befriending me here, too!

Yeah, no question that it's easier today for someone with a real background in the field to get a deal. In fact, they're sought out.

Good selection of authors and TV-movies. They coincide pretty closely to my preferences. Although I have not read all of the authors you list.

Hey, Mark,
Welcome to the space. Good to see you're active and publishing. With your background it ought to be easier than for most.
