Las Vegas Crime Book Tour & Giveaway

1. What is Las Vegas Crime about?
   A detective’s worst nightmare comes true when his daughter is daringly kidnapped from her school,
   minutes after being dropped off, a frenzied search begins, involving the entire police force of a city that
   never sleeps. But for Detectives Baxter and Holt this isn’t a crime like any other; it is personal.
   This team of Las Vegas detectives trust each other with their lives, only not with their deepest, darkest
   secrets. Together, they frantically search for the missing teenager, while all the leads take them to a serial
   killer’s gruesome killing fields.
2. What would readers remember after they finish reading the book?
   There’s a hidden side to every one of us, a part that only we know about, that’s important to us, and that
   we wish to keep a secret. That hidden side of us is what makes us who we are, what makes us great at
   what we do. And that hidden side of us is what we, on rare occasions, allow into the open as a sacrifice
   needed to help those we care the most about.
3. Your writing style is fast, filled with dialogue, almost at the expense of descriptives and
   narratives. Why is that?
   This is how human beings interact, especially when under pressure or stress. We stop paying attention to
   our surroundings, and focus on the task at hand. People interact with one another, talk to one another, and
   have feelings for one another and for everything we do. That’s what I’m focused on, rather than
   specifying each article of clothing someone wears, or the color of the flower vase in an office somewhere.
   This technique isn’t necessarily good or bad; just somewhat different from mainstream.
4. What’s the biggest compliment you received from a fan?
   It’s when readers tell me they stay up all night to finish the book, because they couldn’t put it down.
   That’s music to my ears  Like any other artist and entertainer, I thrive knowing that I deliver that
   escape into the fictional world in a grasping, addictive, and memorable way.
5. You mentioned science, technology, psychology. How do you keep it real?
   I do extensive amounts of research for my work, and I’m fascinated by what I have the opportunity to
   learn. Additionally, sections of my books go through a process of validation at the hands of several
   fantastic partners who are law enforcement officers, attorneys, scientists, doctors in medicine. In Dawn
   Girl, for example, there are sections that speak about using certain plant extracts and animal venoms to
   achieve certain goals. Despite the extensive research, my hands were shaking a little as I wrote them,
   metaphorically speaking, and I was relieved when my research “passed scientific review.”
   In the entire Las Vegas Crime Series, I had the privilege to enjoy the assistance of three fantastic friends:
   New York’s best criminal attorney, an expert in casino gambling who spent his entire career in Las
   Vegas, and the most talented fashion director I’ve ever met. I’m grateful to all of them for lending me
   their edge.
6. Do you do any book signings, interviews, speaking and personal appearances? If so, when and
   where is the next place where your readers can see you? Where can they keep up with your
   personal contacts online?
   Apart from social media and email interactions, I’m a veritable recluse. Email is the best and quickest
   way to reach me, and I was fortunate to build true friendships with readers over email. The majority of

my readers ask me when’s the next book coming out, not when I’m getting out of the house, so I get the
hint and keep on writing.

1. Is Las Vegas Crime going to be continued?
   This book is the third in the Las Vegas Crime Series, and I left room for a sequel, if the public will
   demand it. So far, this series has been very well received by the readers, and my fans have been adamant:
   they want more.
