Blog postFellow thriller author Jenny Milchman invited me to participate in her wonderful newsletter to discuss language barriers as a non-native English speaker. I know, some people will say, "oh, I didn't know that" while others will claim, "Of course, that explains a lot!"

Blog postInstead of showing the post most liked or sharing my memories of 2017, I decided to post the list of books I read during the year.

Blog postToday I had the opportunity to write for The Spy Command about one of my favorite topics: James Bond.
007's love-hate relationship with The Beatles
Although it’s hard to imagine now, there was a time when some people didn’t like the music from The Beatles. Back in 1964, the group was still a relatively new band that the teenagers went crazy over. In contrast, adults thought of The Beatles as a fad, as ephemeral as a lightening. Oh, and they also thought The Beatle -
Blog postThey say the fear of speaking in public is only rivaled by the fear of death. I'm not sure if that´s true, but will admit that if feels true. I had a hard time overcoming my fear of public speaking and learned a few lessons on the way.
Today I was a guest at Julie Lomoe´s blog where I discuss that very topic.

Blog postLiterally meeting Bond by J. H. Bográn
It’s dark times for fans of the most enduring movie franchise of all time. Much like 2016 was the “Year without the Doctor” for fans of Doctor Who, the James Bond fans have seen nothing since 2015´s Spectre, and plans for a new movie are in the pre-production limbo, a most fearsome place to be, once that has claimed Bond for up to six years—from License to Kill (1987) to Goldeneye (1995). This has left fans with not much choice but dustin -
Blog postMy work with the Big Thrill has some great perks and allows me to read awesome books before their publishing date, but sometimes there are novels I really want to read and can’t get the assignment. That is the case with The Spy Across the Table by Barry Lancet. So, obviously, I went out and got the book.
The Spy Across the Table is the fourth book in the Jim Brodie series. Brodie divides his time between San Francisco and Tokyo, he’s an art dealer who inherited an interest in his father’s -

Blog postI was familiar with Douglas Preston’s work in thrillers, but when I found out he’d write a non-fiction book about Ciudad Blanca, I added the title to my reading list.
As a Honduran I’ve heard legends of a white city in the region of La Mosquitia, located in the eastern tip of Honduras, so when a story broke out back in 2012 about a discovery I became curious and excited because the possibilities for this discover were endless. Would it turn out to be our Pyramids of Cairo, or our Mac -
Blog postFirst off, I’ll admit to having enjoyed the movie. This opinion/review will not concentrate on the merits of the film per se, but rather take a swing at the broader picture—pun definitely intended.
The truth is Rogue One is a well-acted, slightly better plotted than other entries, and with acceptable special effects. Okay, that star destroyer did look like made out of white Lego plastic, and I wasn’t impressed with CGI Tarkin or Leia; but other than it was fun to watch. Darth Vader -

Blog postThere's an old adage about never judging a book by its cover. I guess that with time we have moved a bit away from that adage and we authors dedicate an enormous amount of time discussing, reviewing and plain agonizing over the face our novel will show to the work.
I've been blessed with great covers, most of them, come from a wonder artist Rachel Cole at Littera Designs.
Poisoned Tears comes out on March 15, 2017, but we already have a cover. The folks at The Real Book -
Blog postThe abominable snowman has filled the imagination—and nightmares—of people for years, and has achieved a certain measure of Pop Culture status. More than a few movies deal with the monster, including the one being portrayed as an outcast in Monsters Inc. And whether he admits it or not, George Lucas paid it an indirect tribute to the yeti with the creature that attacked Luke Skywalker in The Empire Strikes Back.
Authors Rick Chesler and Jack Douglas bring us a new tale of adventure -

Blog postI’m sure in the fifty years of both franchises this question may have aroused before, but at no time better than our present is this theory more plausible, after a fashion.
Let’s analyze the points of intersection of the two characters:
James Bond’s canonical debut was in 1962 with the movie Dr. No. while the first episode of Doctor Who aired in 1963. So at one year apart, they are roughly the same age.
Eleven actors have played the Doctor, while six have played Bond. Every inc -

Blog postIt is that time of the year again when you make resolutions.
This is not my resolution list. I’m still working on mine. Although it would be pretty simple: write more, lose weight, love more…you know, the same old, same old.
Be warned: the actual content of this post will border more in the realm of “ranting,” but not quite there.
If you have read my previous posts you’d know by now I am a huge fan of movies. Now that we are past the purported end of the world, I am grateful -
Blog postThis week I'm a guest at The Bookshelf Muse. One of the owners, Angela Ackerman is telling the world she's deep into writing her novel for NaNoWriMo. However, some evidence proving the contrary has surfaced.
Is Angela running a NaNoWrimo Fraud?
You'd be the judge of that:

True Crime

Blog postMy Friend D. Krauss tagged me with these questions. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking: why do I still call him a friend, right?
Here’s my reasoning. I was bored, my blog needed a new post— it’s been a while, and besides, when I read the questions I thought they’d be fun.
What is the working title of your book?
Now that’s a tricky question. The current title is “Highland Creek,” but my editor has made it clear we have to change it. So what is it going to be called whe -

Blog postLast night, a friend of mine invited me to meet for coffee. He’s getting married and wanted to give me the wedding invitation.
I arrived first, a few minutes past the set time. He then calls me to apologize that he’s late getting off work and to ask if I’d wait for a bit. Of course, I say.
Only trouble was I had brought no book, no writing pad, nothing to work on!
I turned to my phone, twitted a bit, posted a few likes and comments on Facebook, then got bored. No surprise the -
Blog postFormer marine Douglas Rhodes and tech wizard Tom Stevenson started the day struggling to move a washing machine in suburban California, but they'll have to finish it in a strange land battling dragons.
When they inadvertently interrupt the sacrifice to calm the local dragons’ appetite, they become the besieged village’s last line of defense against the flying fire-spitting terrors.
