An informant in hiding. Killers on a mission. This is the perfect time for cupcakes. Sterling Carter lives in Wandering Springs, a small Washington town on the Canadian border. During the day, Sterling toils in a local bakery, learning a new craft. In his free time, he reads mystery novels, listens to his favorite music, and plays with his cat. It’s not an exciting life, but it’s one Sterling has learned to appreciate, given his recent history. Then early morning visitors from the Great White North suddenly threaten Sterling’s quiet life. These outsiders arrive and prowl the town’s streets, bringing with them a criminal agenda. They’re hunting for an informant who they intend to abduct and whisk across the border to face unspeakable consequences. With the local cops unable to help, Sterling is forced into a dangerous game of cat and mouse. For Sterling Carter is a man with a secret—one the U.S. government has spent a lot of time and effort to keep hidden. Can he outwit the gang long enough to reach safety, or will he encounter the retribution he’s tried so hard to avoid? If you like your mysteries light and fresh, then grab Cozy Up to Mayhem today.

The first novel in the series, Charlie-316, is a political/crime thriller that has been described as “riveting and compulsively readable,” “the real deal,” and “the ultimate ride-along.” He served in the U.S. Army and later was an officer of the Spokane Police Department. He's owned a laundromat, invested in a bar, and ran a karate school. Besides writing crime fiction, he is a commercial real estate broker. Colin lives with his beautiful girlfriend, three wonderful children, and a codependent Vizsla that rules their world.
