Something NEW has been added!  

My NEW book, EBONY SKIES: A Richard Dake Noir, Part 2 is now available in a limited print edition!  This lively sequel to Part 1, EBONY BANGS, will answer a lot of questions about Detective Dake’s dilemmas!

PLEASE NOTE — To order a copy of EBONY SKIES, please click on the BOOKS menu at the top of this page.  Don’t click on WORKS because that’s only for my artwork portfolio. And if you’re really savvy, you’ll use the secret DISCOUNT CODE HEIST and get FREE SHIPPING! 

My gallery of original artwork continues to grow.  You'll find my love of observing and imagining the world around me...landscapes, coastal scenes, city scenes, classic cars and machines, and the human figure painted and drawn. Some of these images inspire stories!

Cheers, John
