Summary:
Some readings from a recent novella, A Change for the Better, and how it came about. Plus, wear you d****d mask!
An Introduction to an Upcoming Trilogy
SUMMARY:
A reading from book 1 of a new trilogy starting in 2022, Meeting the Enemy, about 9/11. A couple of mini movie reviews, too.
Concluding Our Look at The Moscow Rules
SUMMARY:
Readings from the final two stories of Spy Flash III: The Moscow Rules, a bit about the writing life, what’s coming next month, and, of course, my COVID safety reminder.
“Pick the Time and Place for Action”
SUMMARY:
A couple of reviews: the Netflix series “Spycraft” and. . . Black Widow! And some readings from another story in Spy Flash III: The Moscow Rules, “Pick the Time and Place for Action,” which features the return of Olga Lubova. Where did she go? You’ll have to read the story!
“Lull Them into a Sense of Complacency”
SUMMARY:
Moscow Rule number seven’s story introduces two hapless SVR officers given the task of following Cybill Fleming in Moscow. A beta reader called the two officers the “Keystone KGB”–so you get some humor amid all the drama. Enjoy!
“Vary Your Pattern” & “Stay Within Your Cover”
SUMMARY:
The next Moscow Rule is “Vary Your Pattern and Stay Within Your Cover”–again a somewhat long and cumbersome story title, so I wrote two stories. “Vary Your Pattern” takes us back to the early 1990s when Edwin Terrell, Jr. is still alive and Mai and Alexei are struggling to accustom their lives, personal and professional, to raising Alexei’s granddaughter Natalia. “Stay Within Your Cover” is an examination of debating whether or not to do the right thing. If you don’t someone might die; if you do, your cover’s blown. Spy Flash III: The Moscow Rules launches in 10 days.
“Don’t Look Back; You Are Never Completely Alone”
SUMMARY:
The 4th Moscow Rule–“Don’t Look Back; You’re Never Completely Alone”–was a bit long for the title of a single story, so I split it and wrote two stories for Spy Flash III: The Moscow Rules. And it’s 16 days to launch!
“Everyone is Potentially Under Opposition Control”
SUMMARY:
Moscow Rule number 3 and story number 3 from SPY FLASH III: THE MOSCOW RULES. If things seems too good, like this really beautiful woman–or guy–paying attention to you, better be careful.
“Never Go Against Your Gut”
SUMMARY:
The second Moscow Rule and the title of the second story in Spy Flash III: The Moscow Rules–Never Go Against Your Gut. Sage advice for anyone. Preorder Spy Flash III at amazon.com/dp/B09673NDHJ.

SUMMARY:
