Hi, and thanks for stopping by. By way of introduction: I'm a full-time, bestselling thriller novelist and creator of Dylan Hunter: the thriller world's "new face of justice." All my life—since I was a little kid during the Fifties and Sixties, watching “The Lone Ranger” and Zorro on TV and reading Batman comics—I have been passionate about the principle of justice. When I began to write nonfiction in my teens, that was the underlying principle in everything I wrote. It remained the theme of my work throughout my later career as an award-winning essayist, investigative journalist, reviewer, blogger, editor, and nonfiction author of books on crime. Now it's the central theme of my fiction-writing, too. Like me, the hero of my Dylan Hunter vigilante thrillers is motivated by his passion for justice. He cannot walk away when injustices are committed against those he cares about. My debut novel, HUNTER, bridges and blends the crime and spy-fiction genres, but with a powerful love story at its heart. It draws upon my experiences as an investigative journalist writing "true crime" books and articles. HUNTER became a Kindle Editors' Pick in November 2011 and immediately skyrocketed up the Kindle Bestseller List. It reached #4, ahead of the latest titles by Stephen King, James Patterson, Stephanie Meyer, Janet Evanovich, Lee Child, and John Grisham. It also became a Wall Street Journal "Top Ten Fiction Ebook." I hope you check out the Kindle ebook edition, available on Amazon; the trade paperback edition is available on Amazon or, personally inscribed, from my blog, "The Vigilante Author ." The audiobook edition, narrated by voice actor Conor Hall, is available from Amazon, Audible.com, and iTunes. The first sequel in the Dylan Hunter series, BAD DEEDS, was published in May 2014. It picks up where HUNTER left off, but with a whole new set of deadly challenges and personal complications for vigilante hero Dylan Hunter and his lover Annie Woods. BAD DEEDS was named CLFA "Book of the Year" for 2014. Here's the link to the Kindle ebook edition. On that page you can obtain the trade paperback or audiobook editions, too. WINNER TAKES ALL, published in December 2017, rounds out the opening Dylan Hunter thriller trilogy. This time the stakes are even higher—and ripped from the headlines—as Dylan uncovers a murderous international plot to throw the U.S. presidential election. Many readers think this sweeping, grand-scale political thriller is the best Hunter novel yet. You can find it here . A bit more background about me: As a Staff Writer for Reader's Digest, I authored high-profile investigative pieces on crime, the environment, and other public controversies. I'm perhaps best known for my article "Getting Away with Murder" in the July 1988 issue of the Digest. It stirred a national controversy about crime and prison furlough programs during the 1988 presidential election campaign, and is widely credited with having affected the outcome of the election. That article was honored as a 1989 National Magazine Award finalist for "Best Magazine Article of the Year in the Public Interest Category" by the American Society of Magazine Editors. My previous nonfiction books are Criminal Justice? The Legal System vs. Individual Responsibility, with a Foreword by John Walsh, and Freed to Kill, a compendium of horror stories that exposed the injustices in our legal system.
