Dear Reader,
I have never been one to shy away from controversy. While I write legal thriller/murder mysteries, each book addresses one or more of the most hotly contested ethical issues of our day. My first two novels A Trial of Innocents and A Murder of Innocents grapple with abortion — including one chapter depicting a partial birth abortion from the perspective of the unborn baby. My latest book Lethal Ambition addresses the social, economic, and political breakdown in the inner-cities of America, spotlighting racism in many forms.
As a novelist my first task is to entertain my readers with sophisticated plots, unique characters, and fast-paced action. However, along the way I like to challenge my readers to think. So if you have read any of my novels, short stories, or essays, feel free to post your views, whether you agree or disagree with me. Also, in the weeks to come I will be posting my thoughts on various political, spiritual, and ethical issues, and I invite you respond. Debate and the free exchange of ideas allow each of us to grow. As the Bible says in Proverbs 27:17: “Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another”.
Michael
