The bulk of this novel was written on the road. Many nights in the tent were spent hammering out chapters and making progress. Sometimes, I would pull into a picnic area and get some writing done sitting at a table. I wrote some in a truck stop, a doughnut shop, a Starbucks, and the Pomona KOA. I spent ten days in a campground in Tombstone. I was able to get several thousand words done there. It was the most productive time of the trip. I was caught off guard by the impromptu hail storm in the middle of the afternoon. In case you ever wondered, hailstones banging on canvas is very loud.

My new favorite author!</font>"<br /><br /><font style="font-size:14px;" face="Georgia, serif">"This writer is a new master of the paranormal suspense genre done with the pure scariness a ghost story should be and on the edge of your seat tension."<br /><br /></font><font style="font-size:14px;" face="Georgia, serif">"Haunting Injustice has all the qualities I like in a book: interesting characters, a nicely twisted plot, a little suspense, a little fear, a hint of romance, with a nice, tidy ending.</font>"<span style="font-size:14px;"><br /><font style="font-size:14px;"><br /></font></span><font style="font-size:14px;" face="Georgia, serif">"Haunting Injustice" was awesome, riveting, gripping, tantalizing and impossible to put down.

His characters are immediately both believable and likable."<br /><br /> "I vehemently advise readers, start reading early in the evening because you won't be able to put it down and may well end up with a sleepless night. It grips you in the first chapter and never lets go."</font><span style="font-size:14px;"><br /><br /></span> <div style="text-align:right;"><span style="font-size:14px;"><br /></span></div>
