Finally, after more that two years, Matt Rutherford is back in what I think is one of the best books yet!  The Mile High Club, my fifth novel, starts the spring after the end of the events chronicled in Crossword.  Matt and Lisa have broken up, but his life is about to change with the discovery deep in the forest of the naked body of Laura McIntosh, an ex-girlfriend.  No one can understand how she got there, until the news of a plane crash some thirty miles to the north, with Laura's ID and a naked male body inside...

I honestly think you'll like this one!  I'll have more to say on this website in the next few days. 

The offical release date is December 4th, but I may have a limited number of copies before then. The book is being released in both hardback and softcover editions, with an electronic edition to follow shortly.  Please contact me if you'd like to pre-order a copy.

There is always something happening.  I'll try to list the most current thing of interest here with a link either to my "News and Notes" page, or elsewhere.  Most of this will be of interest to readers and/or writers, but occasionally I'll post something that I find unique or fascinatingly unusual.    

• New!! I've just posted a copy of my most recent magazine article, a humorous (or not so?) look at Direct-to-Consumer advertising of medicine.  Read it here.

• The Rutherford Cipher Re-Released!    I am pleased to announce that The Rutherford Cipher, my second and many readers' favorite novel, is being re-released in a quality softcover editon.  The hardcover editions have long been "sold out" and many people have resorted to buying used copies on the internet.  I have arranged with Indigo Press to bring out a new editon of the book.  It will be available shortly on amazon.com and through other outlets.  If you'd like a copy, please contact me, or look for it on-line in a few weeks.  I hope to have the electronic edition (for Kindle and other readers) available shortly also.

• New!!  "A Killing on Ringjaw Bluff," my article on a 1925 murder trial in the current issue of Georgia Backroads magazine, is getting some great reviews.  Here are links to a couple of them:
