As we count down to The Italian Screwjob’s March 15th release, I’m sharing one chapter a day from the book. Despite calls from the peanut gallery to pick those chapters randomly and without context, I have once again opted to start at the beginning. As ever with later books in the series, the text will…

In a month already overflowing with new posts, I have one more to share with you all before we get to the five sample chapters for The Italian Screwjob, and this time, it’s about me instead of my books. Well, I guess it’s about me and my books… this week, I was interviewed by a…
With the release of The Italian Screwjob, book four in The Many Travails of John Smith, just one week away, I thought it might be fun to both remind you all of who our principal players are… and to introduce you to a few of the many, many, many new characters that will make their appearance in this book.
