Writing is my full time job. I work about 8-12 hours a day,
taking breaks to eat, yell at my kids, and sleep.

Thank God for that chamber pot under the desk. It's saved me countless hours.


 

 

Here's a pic I use for promo. My wife thought my previous author photos were all too snooty.


 


 

Most people take their families to Disneyworld for vacation.

I took my family to the very first Kentucky Fried Chicken.
 

You got to have your priorities in order.

 
 

Meeting your heroes is always a disappointment, especially in this case.

Spiderman should have known this was about to happen by using his Spider-Sense, right?

Well, he didn't. As I said, disappointing.

 
 

 

Though I write about a character named Jack Daniels, I enjoy alcohol in all of its forms.

In moderation, of course.

 

 
 


 

Right after this picture was taken, I spit $150 
champagne all over my living room rug.

The bubbles got up my nose.

 

 
 

I'm an adrenalin junkie. It's a dangerous life, but I can't help myself.

 
 

Charlie Brown was wrong.
Happiness isn't a warm puppy.
It's a closet full of import beer.
 

.

I brew my own beer, which is the best
hobby in the world. As an added bonus,
my house smells like a brewery.

Life is good.


 


 

Here are some snooty photos of me trying to look like a respectable author.

Apparently, I equate respectable with constipated.


 

In reality, I'm very down to earth. I'll never forget my humble beginnings, washing car windows on I-90 for 25 cents a pop.

 

It was a difficult job, because on the expressway, cars are going 65 mph.

 

 

 
 

 

This is my very first writing check. I have a copy of it, framed and sitting on my desk. Proof that 12 years of hard work can pay off.


 


 

Having a seven-year-old, I visit Chuck E. Cheese on a daily basis.

Thank God they serve liquor.


 

 

One of life's highpoints is having my fans send me flowers and balloons.

Okay, you caught me. My wife sent me the flowers and balloons. Thanks, Maria!



 



Hanging out with Barbara D'Amato and Stephen Booth.
I'm letting you guess which is which.


 
Multiple pictures of me with my mouth open, which is how I'm often spotted.

The cute chick I'm with is Kelly Montee, aka bestselling author PJ Parrish.

To the right of Kelly is a pic of me winning the Love is Murder People's Choice Award for Talking Too Much (or maybe it was Best First Novel).

Below that, doing a reading at Bouchercon and a signing at World Horror Con.

Does anyone know how to use Photoshop to make me look thinner?
