Fraud Investigator No More

Yesterday, my Washington State Private Investigator Agency license expired. I had a choice, renew it (i.e., spend money) or not. I chose not. This morning, I officially closed my PI business after 27 years. Hard to believe I ran it that long. Lots of fraud cases (along with other stuff).

So, what now? First, complete writing Reset. Next, a motorcycle trip from Enumclaw to Tierra del Fuego. I might do some writing along the way. I’ve set up a YouTube channel (nothing produced yet) called Writer on the Road if you want to follow me.

Writing schedule: First up, Reset (something you’ve all been waiting for), then the story about how Janice Goodland lost her arm (this will be another YA novel in The Corps of Discovery series). Then, back to following Bill and Meri Clark (haven’t come up with a name for that one yet, despite starting it) on their next adventure.

For those wanting more of Drew Peters, you won’t be disappointed. I’ve got a four-book series planned for him.

And, now, for something completely different. I’ve got plans for two WW2 series. One will be an alt-history where the US doesn’t develop the bomb, and the other will be a time-travel series where a modern infantry squad deployed in Afghanistan or Iraq (haven’t decided yet) in the mid-2000s wind up at Dunkirk. Think either John Birmingham’s Weapons of Choice, Michael Z. Williams’ A Long Time Until Now, or Kevin Ikenberry’s The Crossing.
