Cold Blooded V: Nightmare in Red Update

Cold Blooded V: Nightmare in Red continues on track for a late November release with 58K words done. A reader mentioned in an e-mail that I shouldn’t hurry my writing so as to publish the novel sooner. Believe me, that is not the case. I write about 2K words a day unless interrupted by life. I do so because the story in my head forces me to. Many days I have to enforce a stopping point because it is as many writers have pointed out, a good thing to stop in a place where the story can be embraced again with vigor. As many of you know, I do not write of drudgery. I write Pulp Fiction. My characters flood my head with interactions, plots, and humor. They are not a chore or a hurried money making scheme which will be missing pieces. That will not be the case. No one hurries my writer/assassin Nick McCarty - not even me.  :)

In 'Nightmare in Red' Nick tackles loose ends as the court allows serial killer Gerald Kensky loose because of principal witness Dan Lewis’s death. Kensky thinks after his release he will be untouchable. Nick and his Unholy Trio comrades think not. CIA Director Paul Gilbrech enlists his recruited Terminator to handle Isis plots involving Albanian and Middle Eastern terrorists working together. Their terror plots involve a military recruitment station and another strike at the heart of the American Republic’s beginning: Boston Harbor. The pairing of young Sonny Salvatore and Jean becomes a worry as it appears there is no way to stop either of them from following Nick’s black op past.

Here is the Cold Blooded Series link as Nightmare in Red will be joining them soon. :)

 

Rick Cantelli, P.I. Book IV: Shades of Death

Added Note: Shades of Death, my Rick Cantelli, P.I. thriller was released ahead of schedule by RJ Parker Publishing, Inc. Here's the link:  :)

Rick Cantelli, P.I. Shades of Death

I finished Rick Cantelli, P.I. Book IV: Shades of Death last night. It ended at nearly 97K words, and has many humorous and violent moments in it. RJ Parker Publishing, Inc will be releasing it at the end of this week if all goes well. The cover will be done by Katherine McCarthy at Aeternum Designs. Here’s the final blurb we decided on:

‘In Shades of Death, Rick and Lo try to protect a reality TV star better known for her selfie pictures on Twitter than her acting ability. She’s run afoul of a world class financier disrupting economies in countries, ordering deaths, and owning politicians everywhere. He thinks he’s above any law until he crosses Rick and Lo.

The clash between Cantelli-land and the Jorge Boros Empire draws out an old card from the deck in the person of Faruk Ezon, a world class assassin from the Madigan/Cantelli team’s old CIA days. With movie premiers, gangbangers, serial rapist problems, and a deadly threat from their Sana’a, Yemen embassy shootout, Rick and Lo are right back where they belong, locked and loaded.’

Editing of ‘Shades of Death’ is in full swing. Also my new novel which will be out at the end of November, Cold Blooded Book V: Nightmare in Red, starts today. It will contain another free bonus addition of Nick and Jean in the future. I have a couple of locations to research after the opening scenes which I’ll be doing at the end of September and middle of October involving Cincinnati, Boston, and Salem. After ‘Nightmare in Red’, I will be doing an all new character novel, which may or may not become a series, based on my short story, Dhampir. It will be released I hope in March. It will indeed be another Fall and Winter of fevered writing.  :)
