Note from the Author
After following a snake-like career path that writhed about from newspapers to magazines to speechwriting to advertising to PR to association management, I settled on novel writing after retirement. I'm having a blast. My PI characters do things I'd never dare attempt. As for the Post Cold War Political Thrillers, they grew out of my love for spy stories I devoured throughout the Cold War. I did a mountain of research while writing them, which occurred when I first turned to fiction in 1989. When they didn't sell, though I had a succession of agents, I laid them aside and went on to other themes. In 2011, after my second Sid Chance mystery was published, I decided to resurrect them, polish them up with what I'd learned in the past twenty-plus years, and try the publication route again. Most of my stories are drawn from life, from all the weird and wonderful things that go on around me. Since I've been observing this for nearly 88 years now, there's no shortage of stuff to draw on.
