Chilling and taut, NAMELESS, introduces a fresh and exciting twist on the deadly game of cat and mouse. By virtue of one impulsive and deeply human, but all too grave mistake, a good and decent man finds himself pitted against the embodiment of evil and threatened with losing everything and everyone he loves and values; including the pristine reputation he has endeavored all his adult life to establish.
FBI Special Agent in Charge Daniel Falcone unwittingly steps onto course for a head-on collision with a frighteningly brilliant psychotic serial killer, whose harrowing childhood abuse and neglect left him devoid of humanity and salivating for revenge. Framed for a brutal murder on a commercial cruise ship, and fighting for the right to raise his sons and clear his name, Falcone races against the clock and struggles to keep his eyes on the prize, even while his profound guilt and self-loathing threaten to destroy him faster than his maniacal adversary.

Author Description:
I began writing in a roundabout way. I was 44 years old and had just sold a business. Being unemployed I spent a lot of time piddling around with this or that. One night I sat down and wrote up a quick little piece on my involvement with Little League Baseball with my kids. On a whim I sent it off to the local paper and forgot about it.
About a week later the editor called me up and asked if I was applying for the part-time sports reporters job. I wasn't, but he asked me to give it a try. Man, that was a fun job. Paid next to nothing but I had a great time with it. The sports editor was also brand new and we became friends. I not only did games but feature pieces and eventually turned out a weekly column that a lot of fun to write. I was pretty much given a free hand and each week became a challenge to write the goofiest things I could think up.
From there the sports editor and I began writing for websites as a team, providing news and preseason reports on sports teams, concert reviews, and other such stuff. That work has continued on a limited basis over the last few years as I've deployed overseas to do work for a defense company.
The short stories I write I see as a training ground as I prepare myself for a longer work sometime in the future. What form it will take I have no clue and very little concern. I think things just come to you.
When I begin a short story I usually just have a picture in my mind of a scene and the question becomes "How did this scene come to be?" or "Where does this go from here?" Then it's off to the races.While I eventually would like to do a full length book, and I will, right now I'm having fun with the short stories. But stay tuned because this scene could very well lead to something unexpected.
