Then I was offered a chance to work in Bosnia as part of an International Police Task Force (IPTF). I was a Captian in the IPTF and worked as a liaison officer with the United Nations and the various army units assigned as part of a Mult-National Peace keeping force.
After a year of seeing mans inhumanity, and the mass graves from ethnic cleansing, I returned home to my PI work.
Several work related injuries finally took their toll, so now I am an aspiring author. Barracuda is the first of, I hope, many novels.

Becky Lawson is a new attorney building a modest law practice in a small Vermont town when she inadvertently uncovers corporate fraud. Her strict code of ethics puts her in such danger proving that no good deed goes unpunished. Soon Becky and her loved ones are caught in a web of murderous intrigue, including her beloved cat Miranda. J.R.Reardon does a splendid job creating characters that we love, hate, and fear. The author slowly creates a complex financial conspiracy that her hero tackles head on. As complex as the fraud is, the author is able to clearly guide the reader through while maintaining a high level of excitement. There are enough plot twists and turns to make the Indy 500… Read more

I'm not normally a fan of stories of knights and sorcery, but Harbinger of Doom blew me away. Glen G. Thater has an uncanny way of writing in an ancient prose that matches the period. His vivid description of all the characters allows the reader to vision them in their minds. The author paints each scene and battle so clearly that I felt I was in the middle of the action. Curious ideas were brought about regarding our present day thoughts of Good vs Evil as opposed to earlier days. I'm still in a trance attempting to unravel the mysterious revelations in the final pages. I will not give it away, so buy this book and decide for yourself. Do we have Good and Evil reversed?

L.C. Evans has a winner with Talented Horsewoman. The author has an uncanny knack for painting vivid, descriptive pictures with her smooth writing style.
