"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.
