Story Behind The Book
The attack we had on our soil on September 11,2001 hit on my wife Jeans birthday; a day that has been burnt in my memory. How could a thing like this happen in our country was on my mined as well as millions of others. The first think came to mind that someone wasn't being vigilant. Then I wondered how it could be all these people knew exactly how to gain access to whatever information they needed to carry out their plots. My novel Blood Ties tells of different ways that may have been possible by the terrorist to use against our country and scenarios of what may have occurred that allowed them to proceed forward.
