Two writing group friends have new books out:
John Harrigan, former foreign service officer and professor has an historic thriller, Crosshairs on Castro. What if, in the confusion that surrounded the Cuban missile crisis in 1962, the government decided to assassinate Castro?
John weaves this plot around meticulously researched details from the historical record. Edge-of-the-chair exciting! See more of John’s writing at his website.
Jacy Sutton’s Available to Chat is a new take on a very old subject: Love, lust, and the interesting in-between. The first line of the blurb is, “People tell Olivia that her online beau may actually help her fading marriage.” We know how that turns out, right? Well, no, we don’t. It’s complicated, interesting, full of great conversations and convolutions. See more at Jacy’s website.
There’s another coming soon from Karla Jorissen that pits a couple of smart women against a cadre of bad and semi-bad guys. I’ll let you know …

I have thought of myself as a writer for most of my adult life. In 2011, I became a fiction writer full time. I studied creative writing as an English major in college. Then came family and career. I worked in finance and biotech and did a wonderful stint in Vienna. Now, I have the opportunity to use those experiences as the substrate for my stories. My first novel takes on the world of Big Data and the very timely issue of cyber war. The second uses the manipulation of financial derivatives as impetus for attempted murder during a trip from Vienna to Budapest on the Danube.
I have taken writing instruction at the Cape Cod Writers Conference and from The Loft in Minneapolis. I am finding writers’ groups to be very helpful as concept editors, as well as practical advice from the published authors. I am in three such groups.
