Summer is almost over here in Tucson. After 110-plus temperatures for a while, it's nice to see the cool 90-degree Arizona fall temps. Looking forward to a 70-degree Christmas. We have had coyotes, bob cats, javalinas, roadrunners, hawks, owls, quail, desert toads, and lizards visiting our birdbaths all summer.

Book 3 of my Jake's Law series in final stages of completion. Jake is still as bad ass as ever, but a bit more contemplative.

Cold Steel Justice, my new horror novel set in the 1880s West, is moving along. It's fun researching 1880s Arizona. It's amazing how poorly the movies do in regards to correct history settings.

Headed out on a Caribbean cruise next week for a little rest and relaxation with my wife Kim, who needs it more than I do after taking care of and putting up with me, and then back to work writing.
