My "laugh-out-loud" Christian crime thrillers include Forgiving Solomon Long (one of Booklist's Top 10 Christian Novels of 2005), Deliver Us From Evelyn (a #2 Christian Thriller on Amazon.com) and Tribulation House. In May 2007, all three titles were simultaneously ranked the top three "most discussed books on the Web" by blog authority Technorati, which tracks 112.8 million blogs and 250 million pieces of social media.

Publications I have edited and/or written for include CCM, Homecoming, FaithTalk, Christian Retailing, Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine, 7ball, Release, Profile, Harvest Rock Syndicate, Thriller Readers Newsletter and, yes, Christian Bride.

My wife and I make our home in Tennessee, where I am hard at work on my next novel(s).

You know I was just in Nashville, about three weeks ago, hanging out with Eric Wilson and Ted Dekker. I should have looked you up.
Good Times! Great City!
How are things? Read any good comics lately? I am deep into Marvel's Secret Invasion and Bruebaker's Captain America is top notch!

Have a great 4th
