Every day we take a walk from our house to the Scripps Pier. I have taken dozens of photos of the pier, but this one is quite unique. Check out the lifeguard at the end of the pier. We’ve tried getting some with surfers but haven’t gotten that one yet. The same day we found…

We’re Finally Back in La Jolla!
After our five year ordeal- three years getting permits and two years to construct, we’re finally back in our beach home. I love the view from my office on the new third story. Looking forward to writing more books with views like these.
Best Man Toast
My son, Talmage, was recently married. When Tal was little, he loved watching Japanese Anime.

Update on Racketeering With Revolvers
This week I visited NYC to meet with my agent and discuss the status of my manuscript. It was an eye opening visit, especially learning the current state of the publishing business. In short, it’s quite the mess. The one thing that hasn’t changed is that everyone still takes off the month of August. Thus,…
