2019 was spent working on my first three novels in a series of books about a homegrown Austin detective by the name of Harmon Waite. They are almost completed and should start appearing on Amazon shortly.
Why three books before I publish?
Well, to work most effectively for an author, Amazon's search engine requires multiple books with the "rapid release" of titles being optimal, and bottom line, I just don't write that fast.
The city of Austin, as it was back in 1987, plays a big part in the series and Harmon's universe is appropriately "weird." The first title is, "Waite on the Ripper," to be followed by "Waite on the Blind Angel," then "Waite on the Hero," the final novel in the trilogy (although, if sales support it, not the end of the series).
Next up on the author front is choosing book covers, finding an Audible narrator, figuring out the ad campaign which will focus on Amazon SEO (Search Engine Optimization), and getting my goodie machine up and running for anyone signed up for our monthly newsletter.
Hop Onboard!
In addition to unique content and freebies for members, the newsletter will have regular Harmon updates. To give you a taste, here is the murder scene in Chapter Two that really gets "Waite on the Ripper" rolling.

"Riding on the Coattails of Genius," tells my stories from two decades at Dell. While I was there, I loved riding the leading edge of change as the company grew from 5,000 to 138,000 employees and became the Number One computer manufacturer in the world!
