        ​Thank you for stopping by to take a look at my author website.

As you can see I am a fairly new author in the literary arena. I have no prior experience in writing what so ever but have read hundreds of mystery and spy thrillers over the years. I'm a very avid reader. I took the bull by the horns and went for it. I love writing spy and intelligence thrillers, but not about the modern day spies. My character lives in the 1970's the days of the eight tracks, rabbit feet antennas, winged collared shirts, platform heeled shoes, rotary dial phones. He has none of the great electrical gadgetry of today's spies. Think early James Bond books but without the glamour, definitely no glamour in my books!

​This novel is a little different than my first as I have approached it from a slightly different angle, but I promise you there is still plenty of breathtaking action, twists, surprises as we take a deeper look into the life, and initial indoctrination into the agency ,of John O'Bryan and the life he leads as a contractor for the C.I.A.

​This prequel to The Pick Up, The Beginning takes readers back once more to the 1970's to follow O'Bryan's every step as he goes through his grueling training at the infamous Farm, the CIA training camp. The story offers a rare glimpse into the very secretive world of intelligence as he develops from a cocksure know-it-all to become the mature and confident agent that readers got to know in the first book. Here you are shown a real person with morals and ethics despite the emotionally and psychologically arduous, and likely damaging, challenges that he is expected to overcome; it is a fascinating look into the mind and heart of an intelligence operative.

​"HE MAKES A LIVING OUT OF TELLING LIES......"

and with his most recent assignment, he needs to do more than that to come out alive. Read my compelling story of a man who engaged in an international game of cat and mouse, and now he is forced to take the consequences of his actions. THE PICK UP is fast-paced and action-packed, giving readers a glimpse into the revenge, retribution and betrayals of back door deals made by one of the world's largest intelligence agencies, the CIA.

John O'Bryan is American, in his 20's, single, and living in North Central Mass. in the 1970's. He works under the CIA as an independent contract assassin. His next assignment requires him to work alone with strange unknown contacts. Ignoring his suspicions, he embarks on an unusual mission that takes him deep into the unfriendly jungle regions of Central America.

Containing graphic detail and strong language, The Pick Up will surely thrill readers who have a thirst for spy and intelligence novels.
