In celebration of the audiobook release of Blood Trade, John is giving out free Audible download codes for the novel to active-duty U.S. service members. The suggestion came from a reader who brought up the long travel schedules of our military personnel. If you fit the bill (note: you must have an Audible account in […]

Note: This piece was originally published in the Greeley Tribune in February of 2014. Up until I met my wife, I remember disliking Valentine‘s Day quite a bit.

Groundhog Day makes a repeat appearance in the Sean Coleman thriller novels People who’ve read my books may have already figured out that I’m a big fan of the movie Groundhog Day, starring Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell.

On one of my old computers is an unfinished manuscript for ‘Distant Mileage,’ a story loosely inspired by a college road trip I took during spring […]

My editor told me multiple times, throughout the first round of editing Broken Slate, just how unique and surprisingly complex she found […]
