What's Happening

The latest news is the official release of DAMAGED, the Tyler Zahn series prequel. The book splashed big on launch day (and the week after), moving up into the top 20 on Amazon in both the “Kidnapping” and “Amateur Sleuth” categories.

We celebrated by joining the Boy Scouts at Camp Alexander for some ice climbing. This was a first for the boys and me, and we had a blast after we learned to trust our crampons and ice axes.

This will be my third time at Philmont and possibly my last since I’ll be out of sons to convince to go! SAR is ramping up as well, and we’re putting some training miles in to get ready for the inevitable summer surge.

I made a quick dash to Durango to meet up with some Air Force friends who were visiting their sons. Open Mic Night, skiing at Purgatory, and some great reminiscing! Then a 36-hour drop-in to Reno, Nevada to check out my dad’s new assisted living digs.

HAVOC is in for final editing and due to the publisher on April 1 (hmmm!) I owe some favors to a couple of Army helicopter pilots who caught some major errors only a clueless retired Air Force pilot would make…
