Another One is in the Books!

And another one is in the books!  Looking Back is, I admit, technically not a Norfolk Murder as it took place seventeen years prior on the carrier USS Carl Vinson in the Arabian Sea.  However, I judged it appropriate to give poor Isaac Shepherd a break and let him have at least one month go … Continue reading Another One is in the Books!

That Certainly Did NOT Go as Planned!

Intended from the off as the story featuring the return of Gordon Grey, the whole story took me on a ride into directions and levels of darkness I was not intending … Continue reading That Certainly Did NOT Go as Planned!
