More to follow as time nears. I hope to see you all soon.


My newest Harry Thursday Thriller,

The Relentless Sun is now available for sale at Amazon.com and selected shops. I will be signing, and selling copies at,

St Paul Christmas Craft Show on Saturday, December 7, 2024. The event opens at 9:00 AM and closes at 3:00 PM.

St Paul UMC 750 Norland Ave. Chambersburg, PA

In Harry Thursday’s fourth outing, the itinerant archaeologist is drawn away from his peaceful home on the Greek Island of Seprios to Flagstaff Arizona, and finds he has stepped from the plane into the intrigue of human greed, political corruption, and murder.

While searching for the things to use in her homemade jewelry, Hok’ee, a young Navajo woman, stumbles onto a hidden deposit of rare Burmese rubies – known as Pigeon’s blood – scattered at the foot of the O’Leary Peak north of Flagstaff. This seemingly innocuous discovery unleashes a series of events more cataclysmic than anyone involved could have imagined. With the help of Sun, his beautiful Hopi guide, Harry sorts through the various factions who may or may not be involved with the rubies or the mounting murders. As Harry uncovers Flagstaff’s secrets, the clues become more and more obscure, but “truth will out.”

What promises to be a short and simple job for the BAR, Harry soon discovers that, when confronted with a choice, making the correct one can make the difference between life and death.

My first time at the Craft Show, so come on out and help me make it a success. I’m selling all four of my Harry Thursday thriller novels, re-published and improved.

Forget college football this one time, (sure Bob). I mean, especially if you are a Penn State Fan. We can commiserate about the failed season. I will have it playing on my phone.
