Silk on the skin—luxurious, luscious..lethal.
London-Fall, 1888
The city is in a panic as Jack the Ripper continues his murderous spree. While the Whitechapel police struggle to find him, Detective Inspector Rudyard Bloodstone and his partner are working feverishly to find their own serial killer. The British Museum's beautiful gardens have become a killing ground for young women strangled as they stroll through.
Their investigation has them brushing up against Viscount Everhard, a powerful member of the House of Lords, and a friend to Queen Victoria. When the circumstantial evidence points to him as a suspect, Rudyard must deal with the political blowback, and knows if they are going to go after the viscount, they'd better be right and have proof.
As the body count grows and the public clamor for the detectives to do more, inter-department rivalries complicate the already difficult case.

#1 – Do You See Writing as a Career?
I see it as my second career. After I retired from law
enforcement, I decided to start studying the craft of writing. I had wanted to
write for a long time but never seemed to find the time.
#2 – What was the Hardest Part of Your Writing Process?
I'm a terribly slow writer and wish I was faster but I tend
to be anal and constantly edit and re-edit as I go along so it takes me forever
to finish that first draft. The second hardest is keeping the momentum of the
story up, thinking of difficulties and obstacles for my characters to overcome.
#3 – Did you have any One Person Who Helped You Out with
Your Writing Outside of Your Family?
Yes. In the beginning, I made friends with Jill Barnett
through a charity event. She was so kind and helpful to me. I will always be in
her debt. We are still friends, going on over a decade. We have a potluck and
play bunco once a month with 10 other ladies.
#4 – What is next for your writing?
I am currently writing the first draft of book 4 in my
Knights in Time series. I've no title yet. I waffle over different ones. I
listen to my playlists on the treadmill and I'll hear a great line from a song
I like and wonder if I should call the book this or that. The antagonist French
knight from Knight Blindness (book 3) is the hero of book 4.
#5 – Do you have an addiction to reading as well as writing?
If so, what are you currently reading?
I do. I don't know many writers who aren't avid readers. Right
now, I am in the middle of A Spear of Summer Grass by Deanna Raybourn. She's
one of my favorite authors. This book is set in Africa after WW1.
After I finish it,
I'll read the new book from my favorite historical author, Bernard Cornwell
should be out. It's called The Empty Throne and part of his Saxon Tales series

The new book is called Silk and I'd Tweet it as:
A rough around the
edges detective must face down a wealthy and powerful killer.
