Sam Strait lives his life by a set of rules. Unfortunately, they just went out the window. Former Deputy Sam Strait follows some simple guidelines to give him the life he wants. The first rule? Only be where flip-flops can be worn. This principle, along with several others, has helped Sam follow the sun and avoid the brutal winters of the Pacific Northwest. When a former lover calls with a plea for help, Sam’s life turns upside down. She might be the love of his life, but her current boyfriend is in deep trouble with the law. Instead of lounging poolside for the winter as he planned, Sam is soon fleeing the warmth of island sun for knee-deep snow and frigid temperatures. His life and his rules may never be the same. Strait Through the Heart is the fourth book in a light-hearted mystery series from the author of the 509 Crime Stories. If you like your crime fiction with a dose of humor, then grab this book today.

They are standalone tales and can be read in any order. He also created the Cozy Up series which pushes the envelope of the cozy genre. Libby Klein, author of the Poppy McAllister series, says Cozy Up to Death is “Not your grandma’s cozy.” Colin co-authored the Charlie-316 series. 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.
