Meet Jesse Yates.

A former Navy SEAL who
survived the battlefields of Iraq only to discover that civilian life can be
just as dangerous.

Now working as an
investigator for Palm Court Detectives in Mobile, Alabama, Jesse finds himself
facing terrorists beneath the Mobile River, murderous feuds hidden 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.

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.
