In BLOOD AND BONE - An eighteen-year-old boy lies dying of leukemia. Kyle's only hope is a bone marrow transplant, but no one in his wealthy Virginia family can safely supply it. His last chance lies in finding his father, a man who disappeared before he was born. Police and private investigators can find nothing on a trail eighteen years cold.
Kyle's family has nowhere to turn until they learn of a certain troubleshooter, a self-styled knight errant in dark glasses named Hannibal Jones. He has two weeks to find the missing man, but his search turns up much more: A woman who might be Kyle's illegitimate sister, the woman who could be her mother, and the man who may have killed Kyle's father.
Hannibal follows a twisting, winding path of deception, conspiracy and greed, from Washington to Mexico, pursuing the truth. But with each step closer to it he gets, the danger grows.

Another Great Review for Russian Roulette
Among other things, Fred writes one of my favorite blogs called YETMO (for You’re Entitled To My Opinion) where he comments on our times, social issues and political matters with a keen and objective eye. I was flattered that he took time out to read and comment on my latest novel, Russian Roulette.

May I call you Austin?
I have been working away from my computer and out of town. Thank you for your friend request., I am honored. I am also going out to get your book, "BLOOD & BONE". It sounds like a book I will enjoy. That of course, will lead me to your other three.
Hope to have the honor of meeting you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Michael Phelps
(The WRITER . . . NOT the good looking-kid with all the Gold).
Forgive me if I remember this incorrectly, but wasn't THE TROUBLESHOOTER originally self-published? There's a current discussion here about the pros and cons of self-publishing you may be uniquely suited to participate in, were you so inclined.
I stopped by my local independent mystery bookstore today to pick up the latest John Sandford, and right there next to the register was a lonely, pristine copy of BLOOD AND BONE. No thanks to gas prices, I'm now budgeting for books more carefully than a year ago, but I swear that book was singing my name, softly but persistently. What other course was left open to this humane reader? I took the homeless book away with me. I showed it the shelf that eventually (post-reading) will become its permanent home. I won't go so far as to say the book smiled, but the pages sure did flutter.
