A Howard Watson Intrigue - The Scheduler

 Coming Spring 2020 - The Scheduler

(A Howard Watson Intrigue)


Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "The old law about an eye for an eye leaves everybody blind."

Five men have been targeted for death by someone trained on an M-24 sniper rifle..a rifle that only the military provides. The person or persons unknown is an expert shot. Howard Watson is an FBI Supervisory Special Agent in Charge in Washington, D.C., and his friend and colleague, Allen Knox, is one of the two targets on the offenders' list who escapes the deathtrap. What do these five men have in common that has garnered the wrath of the shooter? The FBI Profiler will offer her insight.
Howard Watson will be forced to realize that mental illness is a scarring disease that can leave a healthy person blemished, and sometimes with fatal results.

Climate Change is Real

The Year 20/20 Clarity.  The sharpness of vision. The quality or condition of being clear or easy to understand. The 50th Anniversary of Earth Day is April 22, 2020, and us Earthlings are not in any way closer, it seems, to recognizing climate change is happening right in front of our eyes. Icebergs that have never melted before are melting now. Polar bears are showing up in urban areas, and on city streets, because their tundra is melting, and in searching for and finding food, they must leave what's left of their natural habitat to traverse city streets sneaking into backyards and trashing garbage cans.  We, humans, are a pathetic race. Climate change is real.  We have now witnessed snow in Houston, Birmingham, Alabama, and Miami. Chicago enjoyed a record high seventy-nine degrees in late March, a month that the average temperature reaches fifty degrees. Floods have consumed Nashville, the states of Mississippi, and Kentucky. Tornadoes are appearing earlier each year...

A Howard Watson Intrigue - The Scheduler glimpse

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania The one-room church in the woods was adorned better than planned. The shimmering twinkling lights hanging from the ceiling hung almost low enough for people to touch. The place of worship never looked so beautiful; its unbelievably improved appearance catching everybody off guard. The atmosphere felt electric. Allen Knox snuck a peek down the aisle at his beautiful bride-to-be as her father guided her carefully up the aisle. Knox glanced over at Howard Watson, his best man, and smiled uncontrollably. Janet Forrestal felt the smile and not to appear looking like a Cheshire cat, stroked her white satin wedding gown with the pale yellow flowers. When she reached the altar Knox took her hand. The smiles were infectious.   A few moments later red spots appeared on Janet's dress which made her suddenly realize her groom had red stains on his chest. Janet screamed. Howard grabbed Knox and shouted "No, Knox, no! Someone call 9-1-1....

The Howard Watson Intrigue series

 Why I write what I write  Based on many years of receiving "no's" in the mail from literary agents, I am still a messenger. I have not quit. I used to call myself a "closet activist," but no more. I have emerged from this moniker to write about an FBI Agent (fiction) who deals with global problems that hit America's shores: Illegal drugs, illicit diamonds, illegal logging, tobacco smuggling, and shameful human trafficking.   The issues above have brought those who are poor, oppressed, homeless, depressed, jobless, hungry, and saddled with low self-esteem into a sort of bondage that has allowed those "industries" above to flourish. Seems America - the country that has offered to take care of its "tired, poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse, the homeless and tempest-tossed" - stopped lifting its lamp a while ago beside the golden door.  I like to believe that I tell a compelling story about the changes I'...
