Two strangers, a man and a woman, become acquainted over drinks in a bar. A tenuous connection is made that ends in a tryst with tragic consequences. So begins SIGNS OF LIFE, a tale of the cost of one's past and the price one is willing to pay for the future. Harlan Quist, the cashiered ATF Agent from the novel JACK OF ALL TRADES, becomes enmeshed in a search for a child who was abducted fifteen years ago. What follows is the story of a mother's willingness to sacrifice everything to recover her bond with a daughter whom she no longer knows. Quist accompanies her on a perilous odyssey and a descent into the world of human trafficking and drug cartel violence; a journey that leads from Fiesta in Santa Fe and the symbolic burning of Old Man Gloom to the underbelly of the tourist mecca of San Miguel de Allende, and finally to Oaxaca during the celebration of the Day of the Dead.

Two men and a woman who were once intimate friends are forced to revisit a tragic secret from forty-five years ago. One of the men is an Episcopal priest facing the end of his calling; the other, a man with a checkered past who has finally found his way; and the woman they both loved who is running from her past seemingly without direction - three people facing their sin and possible redemption.Their paths become reconnected when a Mexican investigative journalist reopens their wound in an unlikely way. When the priest and the journalist are subsequently abducted at the direction of a prominent Mexican politician seeking the journalist's damaging exposé on his opponent, the priest's two friends, long estranged by their remorse and own tangled history, reunite in an attempt to rescue him.What follows is a suspenseful thriller, but also a story about the evolution of love and friendship and the cost of one's past. With settings as varied as a small farm in Mexico, to present day Austin, a Syrian refugee camp on the Turkish border, a bar in Oaxaca, and finally to an isolated ranch in northern New Mexico. THE ANGEL'S CHAIR is at its heart a story of how a single act can color one's life, and the price one is willing to pay for redemption.
