L.A. Scandals declared him six feet, four inches; she guessed the tabloid was
correct. Miles was even more debonair in person. His voice, as deep and rumbly as a
freight train, fit him perfectly. She wondered why he had not yet made talkies.

Throughout Wolves Behind You, Sam and Sir Alec discuss the Knight’s Code.
Sir Alec rested his hand on the
hilt of his sword. “That was quite
courageous,
my lad. We live another day, to serve the King, to
protect helpless damsels, and
to battle the forces of evil – we
brave knights of yore!”
What is the Knight’s Code?
Medieval knights were the first superheroes, famous for
their extraordinary courage and gallantry.
A brief summary of their code of honor:
~~ To respect and serve God
~~ To obey orders
~~ To be honest, kind, and brave
~~ To assist widows and orphans
~~ To respect women
~~ To never refuse a challenge
~~ To fight the good fight
~~ To never give up
~~ To assist fellow knights
~~ To oppose and vanquish evildoers
~~ To refuse financial compensation for their assistance

Who is Sam Donahan?
He’s the heart of the story.
He’s the guy who climbs onto a window ledge and talks Natalie out of jumping to her death.
He’s the guy who tells Mia, the former call girl-turned-cook:
“You must put all of those unpleasant memories
behind you.” He cast an invisible
baseball over her
shoulder. “That’s where they
belong. Focus on the person you are
now. What will you be, and what will you do in the
years ahead? Who will make
those decisions? You.”
He’s the guy who tells the wicked
Cosmo Cappalletti:
“‘Mene, mene, tekel upharsin…God has numbered the days of your kingdom and
brought it to an end, you have been
weighed on the scales and found wanting, and
your kingdom is divided and given to your
enemies.’”

My latest suspense thriller novel is live on Amazon!
Wolves Behind You is the fictional story of the Cappallettis, a wealthy and powerful Italian-American mob family. Just as the aging Cosmo Cappalletti -- the most feared name on the West Coast -- is about to pass his empire to his son, the beautiful call girls enslaved in his Beverly Hills mansion stage a revolt.
The story is told from the perspective of Sam Donahan, a young, idealistic priest. Will Sam convince the Cappallettis to end their hundred-year blood feud with a rival clan, or will the family continue to battle for control of L.A.’s dangerous underworld?
