Confessions of a Sadistic Author

Why do authors put their characters through hell? Because without conflict, there’s no story. In Confessions of a Sadistic Author, Mark explains why Jacobine, Billings, and the rest of his cast are constantly battered and bruised — and why their scars make them unforgettable.

So, You’ve Spoken (and I’m Listening… Mostly)

The votes are in, the ballots counted, and my writing schedule is now set—thanks to all of you. Fall From Grace is up first (yes, Thomas Billings is about to get shoved off an emotional cliff). Next comes Sister Jacobine #7—because apparently six books of bullets, assassins, and bad coffee weren’t enough for you. And finally, Credible Threat, Season 2 rounds things out. I’ll admit, I briefly considered ignoring the results and writing a cookbook instead—“101 Ways to Kill a Man With Kitchen Utensils” still has a nice ring to it—but you spoke, and I’m listening. Mostly.

Jacobine vs. Billings: Who’s More Fun to Torture?

One of the perks of writing thrillers is getting to torture characters. Jacobine makes me work harder—she’s deadly, clever, and never blinks. Billings, though, is convinced he’s in control…until the floor drops. Who’s more fun to torment: the nun with a gun, or the cocky spook?

The Good Old Days…

Happy Saturday! So, I was in the middle of writing a post for Monday about an imminent new release and suddenly realized I still hadn’t written this morning’s post. Crap! Some of the research for that post had me looking at something that happened in the late spring of 1980. As most of you know,

Spring Is Coming

Happy Saturday! Some of you are aware that Tracy and I, for health concerns, shifted to eating a whole-food, plant-based diet in August 2021. If you’re aware of that, chances are you’re aware of just how good the results have been. In the seven months since we started, we’ve both removed all of the negative

Day of Birth

Happy Saturday! Tomorrow is my dad’s birthday. Still going strong at 86. So tomorrow, we’re headed over to mum and dad’s for birthday cake and coffee. My two brothers and their wives will also be there. We’ll have a few laughs and celebrate my dad being here for another trip around the sun. Remember having
