Please tell us one random thing we might not know about you.

I’ve hit both the California and the Florida beaches. I’m not going to say which is better.

Please tell us a bit more about the plot of Chase.

In Chase, Tyler, a middle school newbie, watches helplessly as his friend, Jake, descends into drugs. With the help of a couple of classmates and encouraged by the local police, Tyler begins shadowing drug runners to rat out the methamphetamine dealer before his friend turns into a brain dead druggie.

But Tyler has underestimated the power and raw evil that is about to be unleashed against him.

There are lots of twists and turns and character surprises as Tyler and his friends come face to face with organized evil. Faith and courage are tested to the max, and many lessons are learned regarding life and friendships.

What is it about Tyler that will make your readers care about him?

I think Tyler embodies the contradictions of many 13-year-old boys. Wanting to be included, wanting to be the hero, but still cowed by fear. Naïve and self deprecating, he is also stubborn and tenacious. He struggles to figure out another complex facet of friendship even as he struggles to figure out where girls fit, if they fit, into his life. In the end he learns to apply faith, and God does some extraordinary things through him.

Imagine you’ve been contracted to write a novel about a real person. Who would you most like to write about?

Billy Graham.

What is the last novel you read that you would recommend?

The Frozen Hours: A Novel of the Korean War, by Jeff Shaara. It was well researched and also well written. Through it I better understand the Korean War and the world as we know it today.

I read his Gods and Generals. You're right--the man is an excellent researcher and writer. What are you working on now?

My next book in the Intense series is tentatively titled, Hyde, which follows the theme of the first three books and once again also serves as the name of the main antagonist. It is set in Florida where Tyler is vacationing with his cousins. Once again, they get caught up in a mysterious disappearance that has to do with modern day pirates and treasure buried in plain sight. I’ve done some research on the Spanish gold fleet of 1715 and discovered some interesting possibilities.
