UPDATE on Three Novels (and a texbook)
Jim Wilsky and I are finishing up the final draft of BLOOD ON BLOOD.
BLOOD ON BLOOD is a gritty, hard boiled crime novel. As Gar Sawyer lays dying in prison, he tells his sons Mick and Jerzy about a jewelry heist he made years ago. This sets the two half-brothers on a frenzied search for the lost loot. Jerzy is the hard core hood, Mick the failed cop and tarnished hero. They have to work together in order to unravel the mystery they face but every step of the way, they are angling against each other at the same time. BLOOD ON BLOOD is a tension-laced action ride.
I expect BLOOD ON BLOOD to be out in the first half of 2012, depending on which route Jim and I go with this novel.
I’ve finished the second draft of a mystery novel called AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE. It is going to a couple of readers before a third draft.
AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE tells the story of retired Spokane detective Jack McCrae. ‘Mac’ doesn’t feel like he’s left much of a mark on this world. No family, no wife, and a mediocre career. Then a young woman from his past appears and asks for his help finding a girl that she believes may be her sister…and Mac’s daughter. The two embark on a dangerous journey of discovery, battling small town dynamics and old secrets to get at the truth.
I expect AT THIS POINT IN MY LIFE to come out in early 2012 if I go the indie route or later in the year if I go with a publisher.
On another front, I’m currently working on the first draft of the sequel to Waist Deep, which is called LOVELY, DARK AND DEEPHormone Problems- Testosterone and other hormones lead to the clogging of the efficient circulation of the blood across the male reproductive organ which forms the fundamental reason cialis france for erectile dysfunction.

In LOVELY, DARK AND DEEP, former cop Stefan Kopriva reluctantly accepts a job to find out who assaulted Monique Perrin, who works as an escort. He quickly uncovers the dirty side of politics in River City, exposing a web of corruption that includes sex, bribery and worst of all, murder.
I expect LOVELY, DARK AND DEEP to be out no later than the second half of 2012.
These aren’t the only projects I’m working on, but they are either the most complete or in the #1 position as far as what I’m giving the most of my time to.
On a somewhat (but not really) related note, the textbook on police report writing that I wrote along with my colleague and friend, Doug Strosahl, will be available January 2nd. It is called A Street Officer’s Guide to Report Writing. It is a conversational, relaxed approach to a critical law enforcement skill. You can read more about it here.
And that’s your River City Update, folks. I’m Frank Zafiro, and I…am…outta here. Have a happy holiday season!
