A voracious reader, he devours as many history books as possible with a special emphasis on terrorism, 20th century espionage, WWII, Presidential biographies, and the Revolutionary War. On the fiction side his biggest influences are Tom Clancy, Ian Fleming, Vince Flynn, James Clavell, Daniel Silva, Robert Ludlum, Mario Puzo, and Ernest Hemingway.

   If he really has some free time on his hands he enjoys scuba diving and skiing. He has been a certified scuba diver since 1996 and has been diving in California, Cozumel, Cancun, Grand Cayman, Belize, Honduras, Nassau,Key West, and the Exuma Islands. One of his most memorable and exciting trips was an expedition to cage dive with great white sharks on the Pacific coast of Mexico. His next full length thriller, a sequel to Agent of Influence tentatively titled The Single Warrior, is scheduled for release in late 2014 and he is looking forward to incorporating some diving scenes into the book.

3. Fugitive Father

   About Fugitive Father:

   He can prevent a terror attack, or, he can save his son–but can he do both?

   He’s taken his son and he’s on the run. The FBI wants him. Homeland Security needs him. The Santa Fe police chief fears him. His ex-wife’s cult wants to kill him. With Dr. Alex Vincent having the hard drive from his Los Alamos National Lab computer in his pocket with encrypted data from a known terrorist, it’s no surprise security there haunts him also.

   When twelve-year-old Tucker, Alex’s often neglected son, had frantically cried out for his father’s help as he feared for his life, this desperate father and son had then plunged into the little known world of an underground, safe-haven system set up to save endangered children whom the law can’t protect. Now, they pass through the lives and receive help and protection from a collection of people who are involved in this system. Little by little, each in their own way, these giving people show Alex a new life, one full of sacrifice such as he’s never seen before.

   Will Alex forevermore be branded a traitor? Can he crack this terrorist code and emerge as the man who saves his country? Can he become a real father, or will he be relegated to being an “underground” one forever?
