From the Author:
I was trying to read a detective/mystery a while back and wasstruck by the amount of vicious, over the top profanity in it. I rememberthinking, nobody talks like that, andI've been around my share of crusty characters. The main character was a pill-poppingdrunk. Really? Come on. In the first quarter of the book, he bedded a hooker,his ex-wife, and a woman he picked up in a bar.
That was when the character of Cole Sage came to me A collegeeducated, award-winning journalist, with a strong moral compass, sober,respectful of women, and who speaks like the professional he is.
The fact that trouble comes knocking on Cole's door is partof the fun. As if torn from the headlines, in each book Cole faces today's evilshead-on. The characters are realistic, the plots are plausible and the pagesseem to turn themselves.
Reading the Cole Sage series gives you a hero you can rootfor: a family of characters you want to follow, and bad guys who get what'scoming to them, without superpowers, drugs, booze, cheap graphic sex, or characterswith gutter mouths.
In otherwords The Cole Sage series gives you what you've been looking for: clean,character-driven mysteries, with thrills, chills, laughter, tears, and a reasonfor you to love them.
