  My newest novel, An Unreliable Witness, is finally released!  I started this book almost ten years ago, based on thinking about what the worst part of a police officer's job is (don't ask me why I was thinking that - it's just my weird brain).  From there, I filled in a story set in the time and place of my adolescence.  Here's the pitch: "On a snowy night near Baldwin, Wisconsin, in the mid-1980s, a car leaves the road, killing one local girl and sending her best friend to the hospital with a traumatic brain injury. Sheriff Jeff Sanderson, with help from his computer whiz ex-wife, his wisecracking new deputy, a flirty diner waitress, and a local high school hockey star look into the accident and begin to wonder if it really was just an accident." Hooked yet? I hope so. You'll also notice that the subtitle says, "Book One". I pretty much committed to making this a series. Stand by... You can buy it now here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C...
