About the Author
My thirty years of adventure and experiences living and working in the Far East gives me the voice of authority in my writings of Asian business and crime, and how the two are considered one in the same.I was immediately struck as a young man of the Oriental's obsession with power and greed, gambling and sex, and the need to win at any cost. Their driving force of "Face", and the life threatening humiliation of losing it. I have spent my share of time in little known back-water ports around Asia, learning and applying the rules of the East; knowing when a business deal is done, when to run, believe only half of what you see, and nothing of what you are told; survival goes in the plus column.
Fifteen years ago I bought a small place in the Florida Keys. This was meant to be a vacation home, a place to get away from the madness of Asia and to dodge a few unsavory ruffians from Macau that I beat at a few fast hands of Fan Tan. Well, within six months I had sold my California place, subleased my Hong Kong flat and was living the island life of a "Conch." Always an avid SCUBA diver,I spend my time diving my way around the Caribbean, searching for gold doubloons and pieces of eight. At home, now on Florida's Emerald Coast, I spend my time writing Adventure Thrillers. Stories of lost honor, stolen money, danger coming at you like a tracer round; where the good guy doesn't always win, and the bad guy isn't always who you think he is.
