I’m still trying to get my head around the fact that ‘Take Out’ can mean food, dating… or murder. 

I didn’t dwell on it: I started writing mysteries about old guys solving murders. Who knew?

If you’re under 40, you might want to bookmark these books for later.

 If you’re over 50, you may feel like I’ve been reading your mail.

I’ve spent much of my adult life working in pro sports, mostly the NBA, and then co-owning some Minor League baseball teams. Along the way, I became a Wall Street Journal best-selling author. 

Then one day, I sat down at my computer and started Who’s Killing All My Old Girlfriends. What a blast. 

Charlie, Ben, and a few others showed up—and wouldn’t leave. So I kept writing more. They liked that; so did I. They even gave me ideas, which I jumped on.

The Old Guys Murder Mystery books are meant to be fast reads. I try to skip writing the parts that a reader would skip. After all, Old Guys don’t have the patience for a slow read.

I’ll keep writing; you keep reading; Charlie and Ben approve.
