We had a lively and engaging book talk Sunday re SHADOW ISLANDS. I was fortunate to be joined by V.S. Kemanis, author of INDELICATE DECEPTION. I’m very grateful to the wonderful bookstore Hudson Valley Books for Humanity (Ossining, N.Y.) for hosting us.

My debut novel has now been published: A political scandal, stolen millions, and a cryptic map lead four Vietnam veterans to an abandoned CIA base on a remote Caribbean Island. The only obstacles to finding the loot: modern-day pirates, a local naval garrison, and some well-armed ex-CIA agents.

Kudos to 60 Minutes for its touching report on talented young musicians prohibited from playing with the Marine Corps Band due to an order from ignorant and petty plutocrats. Well done! Somewhere Edmund R. Murrow is smiling.
