My novel, Elective Decisions is out. You can pick it up here before it gets to stores: http://www.whiskeycreekpress.com. You can also read a couple of sample chapters when you get there as well. If you have any questions, feel free to FReepmail me. Here is a short synopsis to give you an idea on what it's about.
Chris Smith desperately needs this last job for an extravagant retirement; he might just die trying.
Chris Smith, a retired U.S. Army sniper, is now a paid mercenary. Growing up poor, he longs for the wealth he never had as a child. An opportunity arises for him to retire to a lavish lifestyle. This chance pits him against Joe, an old high school foe, running for President of the United States. Chriss high school friend, Mark Fields, is a journalist seeking an anchor position on network news. His ambition gets him a job as Joes campaign manager, and his natural curiosity to get to the truth places him in the line of fire.
Hereford Turley, a retired U.S. Army Sergeant Major, hates the changes in the new Army. His obsession and prejudices have led him to Chris Smith. He is forced to take drastic actions to try to prevent the inevitable future. All three men find themselves making ambitious decisions. Over a few months, they will meet each other in a head on collision involving a political conspiracy.

"Chris figured he only had a couple of more jobs left, and then he was going to retire from this business. Since his retirement from the U.S. Army, hed been working freelance as a mercenary for private organizations. Well, they called themselves organizations, but he really knew who he was working for. The money was good, and hed managed to save up enough for permanent retirement. If everything went the way he had planned it, hed be sipping margaritas in the sun real soon. Six months to a year, then it was smooth sailing. No more shooting or being shot at. It just wasnt worth the price of admission anymore.
Thor, this is Red Leader. Go ahead and take the objective.
Affirmative. Ill see you boys at the rendezvous point, and the first beer is on me.
He peered through the scope of his M-24 rifle again. Goodbye, El Presidente. He squeezed the trigger."
Works of fiction set the stage for interesting fantasies. I look forward to reading your book.
