THE BOOKS - Mister Hobo Police Series
From childhood I have been an avid reader; everything from Westerns to War, Sci-Fi, Historical Romance, Detective, Adventure, Military, Biblical, and good old swashbuckling tales of the Seven Seas. Heroes and heroines were preferrably a little flawed for realism; action was gritty, characters witty, settings realistic, plots intriguing, and endings mostly happy. Therefore it is no Mystery of how and what I write these days. For your enjoyment, I offer you:
The Chinese Fire Drill - Mister Hobo Book I
ASIN: B015G749D0 ISBN-13: 2940152150155 ISBN(s): 9781516307982
“Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.” ― Albert Einstein
During a bungled federal arson and corruption case labeled The Chinese Fire Drill, they meet.
She is a beautiful, high strung ballet diva just returned from Paris. She is also the long alienated daughter of a scheming con artist Gypsy father and Tong connected Chinese mother.
He is a witty, gritty, but jaded and low life street cop on night shift uniform nicknamed Mister Hobo. He is also a semi nutcase haunted by a persistent spook kid and dogged by rumors coming out of Little China that he has been targeted to die.
She has long cherished dreams for a dancing career and finding love with an old high school crush.
He’s caught in a sleazy nightmare of murder, mayhem, pimps, drugs, and gang wars. He's just trying to stay alive, sane, and ... single.
It’s an old story of boy vs. girl. It’s also a Chinese Fire Drill.
Rogue Rage - Mister Hobo Book II

“They’re not going to send a crazy man out to be killed, are they?”
“Who else will go?” ― Joseph Heller, Catch 22
Life isn’t always easy on the Thin Blue Line.
Troubles began during a fatal hotel fire and a related arson in a Little China gang’s drug warehouse. A Federal cover up of fraud, murder, and corruption in The Chinese Fire Drill case made it go cold fast.
Now there are more troubles in Precinct 6.The arsonists had also filched millions in mafia jewels, stolen the Little China gang’s drug cache, and deliberately started a turf gang war.
A jaded, stressed, and haunted Patrolman H. O. Beau has his own problems. Hobo’s been saddled with a raw rookie to train, a gang leader from Little China oddly wants Hobo dead, and ruthless mob enforcers have been called in to hunt for those stolen jewels. Sneaky detective friends have also involved Hobo in their own search for them. All that could easily get an already gut angry cop killed.
In addition, a hot tempered diva with a dogged crush still has the too wary Hobo targeted for love, but she has convict family issues, and Hobo is determined to stay alive, sane, and away from her.
At times, a lowly street cop like Mister Hobo must fight against those he should. Sometimes, he fights with those he shouldn’t. The hardest battles are often fought within, but unwittingly wound those closest to the heart.
Life isn't always easy on The Thin Blue Line, especially for Mister Hobo, and now there are sirens bound for more lethal life and love troubles in “Rogue Rage”.
