He was never happy in that career, and worked as a news writer for various national publications, and also wrote for TV(MIAMI VICE, NEW YORK UNDERCOVER, THE DIVISION, HILL STREET BLUES). Winner of numerous writing awards.

GoodReads post:

Fairly interesting mystery/crime/thriller set in Santa Fe, New Mexico. FBI agent Jack Harper is asked by a girlfriend to come to a New Age Spa in Santa Fe, and checkout the disappearance of her sister. Crooked owners, questionable science, crazed motor cycle gangs, and human sacrifice are themes that are visited in the book. The novel had the feel of a work which is part of a series, and maybe more books are in the works. It's an easy read, and very fast paced. Worth a look.

Agents Jack Harper and Oscar Hidalgo
Michelle and Jennifer Wu- Michelle is Jack's girlfriend. She is involved in various criminal enterprises. Seductive, yet not to be trusted.
BLUE WOLF LODGE-New Age Spa that is looking for the secret of eternal life. Pineal gland injections, and cannibalism.
Lucky Avila-leader of motorcycle gang in Santa Fe.(SONS OF SATAN)
Alex Williams-Head of the Blue Wolf council.
Anasazi-Ancient Indian tribe in the American Southwest.
TUPINAMBA-South American tribe that believes in cannibalism. Kidnap victims, treat them well, and then eat their bodies to achieve immortality.
