July 2019: The Traveling Man has a new cover

July 2019: The Traveling Man has a new cover

Comments 0 Comment

The Traveling Man (book 1) has a new cover. So now its cover matches the other covers in the series. Back when The Computer Heist (book 2) came out, I didn’t know its cover would become the pattern for the rest of the covers. Hindsight, eh? You can take a close up look at the new cover here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B019DGN21A

(The content of book 1 has not changed, only the cover.)

The Casino Switcheroo, book 7 of the Travelers series, is off at the copy editor. But to get to The Casino Switcheroo, we have to come through The Murder Run.

The Freeport Robbery (book 4), The Kidnap Victim (book 5), and The Murder Run (book 6) all feature James Denison, first as a mark of sorts, and then later as Mrs. Traveling Man’s love interest. (You remember, don’t you? It’s complicated.)

So when The Murder Run opens, she’s in San Francisco getting up to mischief with a new gal pal, while the Traveling Man’s out east trying to outrun and outgun the killers who tailed him from a safecracking.

It’s one wild ride to the finish line, and when it’s over, they’ll be ready for The Casino Switcheroo.

Happy reading!

June 2019: Reminiscing about The Kidnap Victim

It’s finally getting warm here in Iowa. The flowers are up. The trees have leaves. We’ve put the furniture out on the screened-in porch. Woo-hoo!

I’m still hard at work on The Casino Switcheroo, book 7 of the Travelers series. Think it’s shaping up into an exciting read. 

In the meantime, to wet your whistle, let’s reminisce about book five, The Kidnap Victim. 

In The Kidnap Victim, Nicole is off with the millionaire James Denison and the Traveling Man is off on a new scam. In the other books, they tag team their way out of any tough spots, but here, where we begin, they have to sort out their own problems by themselves.

So the Traveling Man has to work on tradecraft with a new partner, and Nicole has to explain who she is to the Denison family. That, I thought, would make for an interesting starting place, something we haven’t seen before. Sort of like we’re back at the beginning of The Double Cross, only now the Travelers know all they’ve learned in the meantime.

Add to that the theme of kidnapping and all that entails. For the one who is kidnapped—lack of agency, being controlled, seeking escape. What would that person be thinking about? For the rescuer—developing the rescue plan, fear about what’s being done to the one who’s been kidnapped, and fear that the rescue plan won’t work. Plus anger and the desire for revenge. Who doesn’t hate a kidnapper?

Of course, the Travelers are not going to take their lumps lying down. They’re going to do everything they can to scheme and manipulate their way out of their troubles and into the clear.
