Mitch Turner #6 is right on target!

Happy Halloween! It’s been another week and another draft of Mitch Turner Book 6 is done! I've had a couple more ideas come to me on the title of the novel but still nothing has solidified yet. Things are coming together, and with every passing day, I become more comfortable that I will hit my self-imposed deadline. There is not a lot to say about this part of the process as I fine-tune the story and the writing. 

Book Six introduces a number of new characters that haven't been mentioned in previous books, characters that might show up again in future books. 

A new character I want to highlight today is Cook County State's Attorney Patrick Rebane. He has a huge ego and has had mixed interactions with Mitch Turner in the past, though they haven't ever had a case facing off against one another. The Patrick Rebane character is fun to write because he doesn't see the world in the same way Mitch Turner does, which brings them into inherent conflict. I'm hoping everybody has an entertaining time meeting this character and seeing him has he interacts with Mitch Turner and the rest of the cast in this particular novel. 

I also just wanted to take a moment as well to talk about Kirk Hoffman, the main character in my upcoming novel The Fixer. As I've mentioned in other places, Kirk Hoffman is a brand new character that's never been seen before anywhere else, but I am planning to have him appear in other books in at least one other series. No, it's not Mitch Turner, but another one. I'm not going to reveal anything more about that yet. Hoffman is in his mid forties and has dedicated his life to making sure that he protects innocent people, refusing to take clients that he believes are guilty. His approach to practicing law is all about staying out of the courtroom as much as possible and proving beyond a shadow of a doubt his clients are innocent by finding the actual criminals. 

As I look at my schedule, I'm currently thinking of trying to get The Fixer out in the middle of November, we will have to see how it goes, though. I've been making enough progress with Mitch Turner Book Six, and I've had enough momentum that I think I’ll be able to do that. 

Since it's Halloween, I thought I’d highlight Grizzly Wolf, one of my Halloween short stories that I published several years back. Here is the description:

Jim Cannon and his coworker Melanie have been called in to rescue an injured hiker and his girlfriend. They get out of the car at the trailhead and immediately hear a wolf howling. They don't know what to make of this because wolves disappeared from this section of the forest over a hundred years ago.

Armed with a tranquilizer gun and a pistol, and hoping that these weapons will be sufficient should they run into any trouble, they don't make it far before they find the torn up body of a hiker.

Fearing the worst, but knowing they still have one hiker to rescue, they push forward at considerable personal risk. Minutes later they come face to face with a wolf-like creature.

Jim and Melanie are forced to run for their lives.

This story has many twists and turns while they fight for survival. Fans of monster stories will find this exciting and chilling, while also enjoying the wild ride. Pick up your copy today!
