Product description: "Deadly Decisions" is crime-driven novel interwoven with drama, suspense, wit and edge-of-your-seat action. Trouble and misery can be part of life's ordeals, but for Ivanovich and Mancini they are everyday concerns. After his debacle of a life in "In the Name of Revenge", Pavel Ivanovich tries to find a new direction. Instead, his days are upended with the constant turmoil of drama with Teresa Mancini—the spoiled daughter of a mob boss, wanna-be agent and Pavel's girlfriend—thrown in the mix. Bullets fly, bombs explode and people get hurt. Ivanovich's existence is an entire commotion of murder and mayhem, including a near-death experience and many other, narrow escapes while Mancini tries to become involved waist-deep in every one of Pavel’s cases.
Travel with Pavel as he continues with crime-ridden, investigative cases while Teresa 'tries' to help him in "One Major Mistake", the third in the Ivanovich Series, coming soon.

Q: What will e-readers like about your book?
A: It is not your typical mob-based novel. It has a good balance of humor and action.
Q: Why did you go indie?
A: E-books are quickly becoming the number one avenue for readers, if it hasn't already surpassed the number sold of hard copy books. Indie is the wave of our future and I enjoy being on the cutting edge and giving consumers what they want.
Q: Who are your favorite authors in your genre?
A: Nevada Barr, Steve Berry, Lincoln Child, Doug Preston, Mary Higgins Clark...there are so many!
