I've developed a new action-hero, Sam Seabury. Unlike other detectives and action-heroes who stay primarily in one country, merchant seaman Seabury's stage is the entire world.  My first book DEAD GIRL BEACH (published) is set in exotic Thailand; the second book RANSOM DROP (published) is set in Thailand and Laos; the third, Eden2, (in the hands of the Aquisition's Editor), is set in the Indonesian part of Borneo; the fourth, The Anonymous Hacker, I'm still working on but it's set in Brussels, Belgium.  As you can see, Sam Seabury gets around.
