"Every author I know is also a voracious reader.
And like everyone else, I have my favorites,
although my favorites really have nothing to do
with the quality of writing. I love a well-written
book. I think it's important. But for me it's about
the story. It's about the pace, the action, the
chapter hooks. I love great dialogue and
descriptions of places that are detailed enough to
put you there, but not so overdrawn as to drag the
story. Many of my favorites are wonderful writers, but
some are better story tellers than literary tacticians.
Michael Connelly, Lee Child, Deborah Crombie,
Dean Koontz, Jonathon Kellerman, Stephen White,
Caleb Carr, John LesCroate, John Grisham, Vince
Flynn, and Stephen Hunter are all authors I enjoy.
There are many others, too many to name, in fact,
so I'll just stop there. I can't imagine living life
without a book to read. One of the quickest ways for
me to relax is to sit with a great novel and get lost
within its pages." ~ Steve Copling

The Shooting Season
When a serial sniper hits Plano, Texas, to begin his fourth annual shooting
season, homicide detectives Rush and Chinbroski team with the FBI to hunt
the killer. After the FBI's faulty investigative tactics force Rush to strike out on
his own, he does so unaware that his independent investigation plays right
into the shooter's hands. Despite being hunted by police agencies from
around the country, no one understands that Plano is the shooter's last stop,
that Plano's top homicide team was the target all along, and that a
thirty-year-old debt won't be paid in full until the last shot has been fired.

The Listener
During a rare Texas freeze, Detectives Greg Rush and Rick Chinbroski
investigate the discovery of a woman found dead in her bathtub. She is
encased in ice with a cellular phone positioned against her ear. A note left at
the scene of the crime leads the detectives to determine that they are not the
only ones on the killer's trail. A woman, it seems, is desperate to help the
police catch him... but only when she decides it's time.
