The job felt wrong from the start.The sheriff of Jericho offered Flint the bounty, but the contract originated from a murkier source—the Duskfinders, a secret society with ties to the Occult.

Some observations about the Venezuelan President elected in April 2013.His victory is being questioned as I write but how did he behave during the days of Chavez? How might he behave now? I have used these questions as a sub-plot to a novel I wrote earlier this year entitled, "Swimming in Oil". These notes may spur you to read the book - I hope so.

Swimming in Oil is a spine-tingling thriller set in the ruthless world of drugs and arms smuggling in South America.

The reverse trade of smuggling arms to guerrilla groups builds up to an unmissable, dramatic finale - brilliant!
