This Wednesday, October 28, 2026, I will finally get to present at this University which has one of the best fire investigation curriculums in the country. I have wanted to speak here for years, and I received a recent invitation thanks to Nickolas J. Martin, President of the Fire Science Club, and student in the Class of 2027. I will be honored to share some of my 37 years of fire investigation experience including the story behind my first book, BURN BOSTON BURN. I am very

This Friday, October 9, 2026, at 1 PM, I'm speaking at the Norwood MA Senior Center, 275 Prospect St, Norwood. What's amazing is that 40-50 senior citizens usually fill the seats (And only 1 or 2 fall asleep during my presentations). They are attentive, and they buy some books. Looking forward to seeing you all there. I've worked with many of Norwood's Firefighters and Police on cases over the years, some that continue to haunt us today.

Some interviews feel familiar from the first question. This one did not, in the best possible way. My 30-minute appearance on The Neil Haley Show Criminally Good Podcast with my friend, retired ATF Agent Jenn Eskew, and her on-air partner, Sherrie, took a different path from my previous interviews. The questions were sharp, thoughtful, and a little unexpected. That made the conversation feel more alive, more personal, and more useful for anyone who enjoys true crime stories t

Some anniversaries mark the passage of time. Others remind us why the time mattered. The 50th anniversary of the MA IAAI Chapter did both. It brought together decades of shared work, hard-earned knowledge, and friendships shaped by fire scenes, training rooms, long conversations, and the kind of mutual respect that only grows stronger with time. From the first greetings to the last goodbyes, the day carried a warm sense of return. People who had not seen each other in years p

Yesterday, in Marlborough, MA, it was just glorious in so many ways. First, as a vendor, I attended the highlight event of the 2026 SPAAMFAA (Society for the Preservation & Appreciation of Antique Motor Fire Apparatus in America) Summer Conference, the National Muster hosted by the Massachusetts MAFAA. There were dozens of incredibly maintained pieces of antique fire apparatus of several makes, models, and ages--simply amazing to see. Take a look at the video I included. The

Some author events feel busy from the first few minutes, and last Saturday at the Mall of NH was one of those days. The Manchester Craft Market had that familiar summer energy: shoppers moving from table to table, families taking their time, people pausing when a cover caught their eye, and plenty of conversations starting with, “So, what is your book about?” It was the kind of day authors hope for when they pack up books, signs, bookmarks, and a little bit of courage. For me

There are moments in an author’s journey that stand out as milestones, moments that feel like the universe acknowledging your hard work and passion. For me, one such moment was seeing my book FLAMES OF SECRECY featured on a billboard in the heart of Times Square, New York City. This wasn’t just a proud personal achievement; it was a powerful symbol of connection between my work and a city known for its energy, diversity, and stories waiting to be told. In this post, I want to

This one will be a bit different because I'll be covering several cases that I worked during my career. It will be an entertaining and informative evening.
