Interview with Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith (National Police Association)

/

I had the absolute pleasure of being interviewed by retired sergeant, Betsy Brantner Smith, for the podcast she does for the National Police Association.

Some of you might be familiar with Betsy, as she has appeared on a number of news shows, including Newsmax, and Fox.

Despite some minor technical glitches (rural internet being what it is), we managed to have a great time. Betsy is an awesome interviewer and we touched on a number of topics, including my career with the NYPD, my transition to author, and the state of policing.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

New Book: James Maguire Origin Story

/

Those of you who familiar with the James Maguire series will know that before he joined the NYPD he was a US Navy SEAL. I have had an idea sitting on the backburner for a few years and decided that I would pursue it and have enjoyed writing this new story.

This story centers around Maguire’s time in the SEAL teams and has him being sent to Mexico on a clandestine operation. I don’t want to give too many details away, so I’ll just attach an image and let your imagination run with it.

The book is about 80% complete and I hope to have it available shortly. I’ll update you on the progress as it gets closer to publication.

Once again, that you for your continued support.

Alex Taylor - Book 4 Update

/

Well, happy spring everyone. The birds are chirping; the grass is turning green, weather is utterly bi-polar, and yours truly is camped out behind his desk, putting the finishing work on the latest Alex Taylor novel.

It feels like forever since I published a new book and, truth be told, it isn’t that far off. The last book I released was The Crazy Eight Cowboys novella in January 2021. I regret the delay, but 2021 was a year of challenges for us. What started out as a simple house flip grew into a monster and consumed almost the entire year for us. Thankfully, we could sell the home in December, so we have closed that chapter of our life.

Since then, I have been back at work writing and I can happily report that I have finished the first draft of the latest Alex Taylor novel (title TBD) and it is presently in editing. Barring any unforeseen events, I should be able to release it this April.

I know many of you are waiting on the next James Maguire novel, as well as the follow-up book in the Crystal Coven series. All I can say is, please be patient with me; they are coming.
