I'm a retired technical writer. My first novel, When Pigs Fly, came out in 2006 to nice reviews. My reading tastes are eclectic, but I love to write humor.

Early Endorsements for “A Circle of Souls”
Linda Fairstein, NYT Bestselling Author: "A fascinating debut - this novel takes the reader to the darkest places in the human soul, from a writer with the authenticity to lead us there. A stunning thriller and an important read."
Judge Judy Sheindlin, star of the Judge Judy Show: "The seminal work of this fine author kept me glued to my chair until the adventure was over and the mystery solved. A great read!"
Book Synopsis:
The sleepy town of Newbury, Connecticut, is shocked when a little girl is found brutally murdered. The town s top detective, perplexed by a complete lack of leads, calls in FBI agent Leia Bines, an expert in cases involving children.
Meanwhile, Dr. Peter Gram, a psychiatrist at Newbury s hospital, searches desperately for the cause of seven-year-old Naya Hastings devastating nightmares. Afraid that she might hurt herself in the midst of a torturous episode, Naya s parents have turned to the bright young doctor as their only hope.
The situations confronting Leia and Peter converge when Naya begins drawing chilling images of murder after being bombarded by the disturbing images in her dreams. Amazingly, her sketches are the only clues to the crime that has panicked Newbury residents. Against her better judgment, Leia explores the clues in Naya s crude drawings, only to set off an alarming chain of events.
In this stunning psychological thriller, innocence gives way to evil, and trust lies forgotten in a web of deceit, fear, and murder.
Hi Jon,
Yep, I've heard it before. My friends also refer to my book as "the little porker." Actually, the pig in question is a javelina that wandered into the second draft of my Arizona-based crime caper.
Hey Bob,
Thanks for the invite. I'm pretty new to Crimespace myself. I just finished writing my first blog entry for the sole purpose of appeasing the exclamatory reminder that I had not yet done so.
I look forward to reading your novel When Pigs Fly. Maybe even sooner. (Like you haven't heard that before!)
Thanks again for the invite. Keep in touch.
Bob. Thanks again for taking a look at hardboiledjournalist.com. I hope to add more stuff in the coming weeks to make it worth a visit once in a while. I notice your novel is set in Arizona. It's a cool setting. I've been here 35 years now, and I'm still learning things about the state.
