emboldens Al-Shabab to seek their next prize: Kenya. The terror
organization controls land but requires weapons.

Carnage in Singapore
The Bedlam Series Book 3
Terrorist groups such as Abu Sayyaf and Jemaah Islamiyah have flourished in
recent years with new recruits joining them and ISIS-affiliates at an
alarming rate. Blended operations by various Asian countries have
forced the groups to work together to identify a new operational base.
They seek an island nation to call home, one where they can plot against
countries who oppose their ideals. They found a target, a small
nation-state, perfect for their needs: The Republic of Singapore.
Before anyone can respond, the ambassadors of the United States, Great
Britain, and Australia are kidnapped from their residences in
Singapore. Right index fingers of each victim are sent as a warning.
Any attempt to recover the ambassadors will result in the removal of
additional body parts.
Bedlam Charlie team leader, Evelyn Evinrude, leads the group to rescue the
ambassadors and capture the local leaders of Abu Sayyaf and Jemaah
Islamiyah. Can Bedlam succeed or will events escalate, resulting in
more deaths?

I’m a U.S. Army veteran and retired senior civil servant, spending thirty
years in Europe, Africa, Central America, and the Middle East. My
residency abroad qualifies me to build rich worlds in my
action-adventure novels and short stories. Familiar with customs,
laws, and social norms, I promote these to create authentic
characters and scenery.
My first novel, The Kurdish Connection, was published in 2017, and the
sequel, Dangerous Alliance, was released in November 2018. Both
placed in the 2018 Global Thriller Book Awards sponsored by
Chanticleer International Book Awards, with The Kurdish Connection
finishing as a semi-finalist and Dangerous Alliance being selected as
one of seven first in category winners. I recently signed a contract
for the third novel in the series, Carnage in Singapore. Work on my
fourth novel in the series, Ultimate Escalation, is underway, as is
the first book in a new series, A Cartel’s Revenge.
I also penned A Dangerous Occupation, a winning entry in the August
2016 Wild Sound Writing and Film Festival Review short story category.
I hold a general Master in Business Administration (MBA) and a MBA with
an emphasis in Strategic Focus, both from Heriot-Watt University,
Edinburgh, Scotland. My wife, Sylvia, six cats, and I currently
reside in Dunfermline, Scotland. I’m originally from Michigan, while
Sylvia is a proud Scot.
In addition to writing, I enjoy hiking, reading, candle making,
pyrography, and sightseeing.
