Samantha Tulley, Criminal Attorney. Mom.

Starting a career as a small town criminal attorney would be tough enough, but as a widowed mother with no income and very little in the bank, Samantha Tulley is in over her head. From court appointed clients who never show up for court to pro bono clients with seemingly unwinnable cases, every day is a new struggle to figure out the criminal justice system. And then suddenly the system turns against her, and Sam and her daughter are left running for their lives.

Torn from the author’s own real-life case files, his award-winning debut novel Resumed Innocent offers a revealing and gripping inside look at how our fractured justice system serves to punish the innocent and reward the wicked. And for the poor there simply is no justice at all.

Gavin Larson, Naval Intelligence.

Disgraced former FBI agent Gavin Larson has a new job, a shadowy role presumably sanctioned by naval intelligence. But his first official assignment has nothing to do with the navy — it’s a missing persons report from a small yacht in Cozumel, Mexico. Normally, something you’d leave to the locals to sort out. But turns out, the missing woman is his boss’ goddaughter. So in the end it’s a favor for the boss. And you know how those always work out.

Armed with almost no official government status and pestered by Mexican Federales every step of the way, Gavin must uncover who killed the young woman, and why — before he becomes the killer’s latest victim.

The Game of War.

Back in their glory days at Google, moving to Austin and launching a video game company seemed like such a great idea for Marc and Dave. With Marc’s marketing expertise and Dave’s experience in coding and simulations, the Dronewars video game just couldn’t miss.

But now the stark divide between concept and reality is finally hitting home, and their rapidly shrinking bank balance has them counting the days until they have to shut down their dreams for good. Even worse, the key piece of software they need to make their game work is now controlled by a defense contractor, a company that’s willing to hand over the code — for a price.

Marc and Dave are more than willing to sell their souls for it. But they don’t realize it’s a price that suddenly thrusts them unwittingly right into the heart of the most dangerous game of all — the game of war.

TGOW is a slow burning Hitchcockian thriller that draws heavily from the author’s own experience as a defense contractor writing code for many of our country’s most critical weapons systems. And what it reveals about our future is all too real indeed.
