We’ve all done a “simple favor” for someone… only to watch it spiral into something completely unexpected and chaotic. But what if that favor pulled you straight into an international conspiracy? That’s exactly what happens to Detective Juraj Adamik, a … Continue reading Now in print – The Favor
I’m thrilled to share that my next book, The Favor, is the first novel in the new Detective Adamik series. Many of you met Juraj Adamik in The Archangel (the Matt Moretti–Han Li thriller), where he stole just about every … Continue reading An Update on My Upcoming Novel: The Favor
My grandparents were born in the small Sicilian fishing village of Siculiana in 1897, immigrating to the United States when they were nineteen. As they essentially raised me, I became very intertwined with the food, culture, and people of … Continue reading My Portofino Home – Splendido Mare
Last week, my wife and I had the pleasure of going to Aspen. I was there for two reasons, one of which is that it’s a beautiful place to visit, winter or summer, and the mountains and rusticness of the … Continue reading The Wyld Blue of Aspen – Sabrina Devine
In researching the places where my future novels take place, my wife (who’s also one of my editors) and I generally try to stay at a hotel that feels like we’re in a home, something that’s easy to want but … Continue reading My Home Away from Home – Hotel Jerome, Aspen
As I mentioned in a previous blog, before I begin my novel, I visit the locations I intend to include in my manuscript. I also spend quite a bit of time speaking with locals, those conversations giving me an insight … Continue reading Capturing the Personality of Sicily – Thank you, Sara
Before writing any manuscript, I do a tremendous amount of research to make the experience for the reader as authentic as possible, going to each locale mentioned (with the obvious exception of North Korea, Iran, etc.).

At the end of this month, I’ll begin writing the next Mauro Bruno novel, The Puppeteer. I anticipated starting this manuscript in late January after completing The Archangel, the latest Matt Moretti-Han Li thriller. However, as that storyline unfolded, I became increasingly … Continue reading The Next Mauro Bruno Novel
For those of you who’ve asked when I will get Wayan, Eka, and Persik in trouble again, I’m happy to report that I’ve put together a tentative storyline and have begun researching the various venues associated with it. Without giving away too much, I recently attended Art Basel, an international art fair staged annually in Basel, Switzerland, Miami Beach, and Hong Kong, intending to use this as one of the places the trio will end up going. As my knowledge of art is similar to my skill in neurosurgery, I was lucky enough to speak with exhibitors at the fair … Continue reading The Next Gunter Wayan Novel
My next novel, The Archangel, is a Matt Moretti-Han Li thriller that should be in print in the later part of this year or early 2024. The action primarily takes place in Prague and across the Atlantic Ocean. Although my manuscript is around fifty percent complete, here’s a preview of the current storyline if Moretti doesn’t decide to take the author in another direction: The United States’ most classified military system, code-named Vigilant, has been stolen from an unmarked Navy ship in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The system, which consists of ninety-seven missiles and nearly five hundred warheads housed in … Continue reading Future Books by the Author
