Readers' Comments

I couldn't put it down.  Read it in three days.  Better than that - one of my staff read it in a 24 hour period!  She couldn't stop! Carleen J.

I just finished your new novel, “Grave Mistake.”  It was a thriller!  Thank you! David H.

...gave me your new mystery for my birthday, and it really "creeped" me out!  It was especially spine-chilling because we're living in King and Queen County while our home is being built; and I'm driving those roads. Rhonda T.

...quite a yarn. I especially found the references to the earlier discoverers of America fascinating. Brice L.

I’m very busy with important tasks but I have a terrible time tearing myself away from “Grave Mistakes.”  Paul H.

Barnes and Noble Customer Reviews:

*****a page turner (I know over used phrase but it works). I picked this book up at the author's book signing. He is a very well-informed man and this book shows it. From the local places he describes to the history of the area, and most important, an exciting story line. It will keep you up reading at night. Thanks for such a wonderful read.

*****Gripping, Vivid and Something More...This story held me from the first page. The play of ancient against the modern backdrop is innovative and gives the story an unexpected dimension. When the mystery began, I held on tight, turning pages. Don't read this on a dark and stormy night unless your heart is strong.
