I read a lot of books as I review books for an indie bookstore in SLC, Utah. I'm also a writer. The Mary Mac trilogy is out now.
The Nikki Doyle trilogy (Rollover, Thunderball and Ms. Scarlett) can also be found at your local indie. Excalibur - the Nikki/Mary crossover was just published.
N.B My blurbs give you just a taste of the plot. Reviews are a pretty subjective matter but the books you'll find here are books I have read and loved.

With all the talk of the NSA, if you can get hold of a copy, The Puzzle Palace by James Bamford makes fascinating reading. From inception to the eighties (when this book was written) it's a history of the NSA and it shows that while they've always just hoovered up data the methods they use just get more sophisticated as the tech improves.

Book 3 needed some major rewrites and I only realised how badly I'd neglected the blog when one of my regulars told me he thought I'd packed it in. There are some cracking titles for next year and I will be reviewing the first batch of those in January. For now, Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
