Former Navy SEAL Jesse Yates
survived the battlefields of Iraq only to discover that civilian life can be
just as dangerous. As an investigator for Palm Court Detectives in Mobile, Alabama, Jesse faces terrorists beneath the Mobile River, murderous thugs hiding deep in
Delta swamps, powerful men with deadly secrets, and desperate people with
nowhere left to run.

Combining authentic
detective work, unforgettable characters, military realism, and the unique
atmosphere of Alabama's Gulf Coast, it’s a series readers have called "hard
to put down," "a must-read," and "one of my top ten
favorite series." It's a series about a warrior learning how to
live in peace...until peace refuses to cooperate.

If you're ready to
discover a fresh hero with a heart, a conscience, and just enough combat
experience to make the bad guys nervous—you'll feel right at home at Palm
Court.

Sometimes the hard road is
the only option.

  • 1943. Mobile, Alabama. As the wartime city erupts with opportunity, corruption, and fear, a 4-F football hero teams up with a pretty reporter and an AWOL soldier to stop a killer before another young girl disappears.

  • She climbed into an eighteen-wheeler to save her family—not to fall for the one man she never expected to meet. Annalisa Rochon, a Cajun girl from Louisiana, collides—literally and figuratively—with a corporate bigshot on a
    Chicago loading dock. Sparks fly as two people from opposite worlds discover that the longest journeys are sometimes the ones leading home.



  • Growing up isn't easy. Neither is being a young cougar separated from everything familiar. When two small-town boys discover a displaced yearling cougar following them through the woods, they quickly realize the animal is in danger. A perfect read for adults who remember what being eleven felt like—and for younger readers discovering it for themselves.

I've been a soldier, a newspaper reporter, a copywriter and a long-haul truck driver. In each of those careers, I came across characters and events that would not leave me alone until I sat down at the keyboard and told their stories.


I grew up a Hoosier but now my wife Carol and I live in her hometown of Mobile, Alabama. I may complain about the heat in summer and lack of snow in winter, but the Gulf Coast is the perfect setting for Jesse Yates and the rest of the
Palm Court crew.
