My newest novel AD-DUCERS is now available on Amazon Books. It's the third of an ad agency trilogy and a Ryan O'Rourke action adventure.. Here's a brief description: Ryan O’Rourke was on his third glass of Glenfiddich and told himself to slow down. He would hate to stumble and fall down drunk while receiving his first CLIO award. After all it was the world’s most recognized advertising award. It always frosted him that the agency creative directors or principals accepted the awards on behalf of the sweat hog creative writers, designers and producers who actually did the creative work.  It had been a weird and winding road that brought him to this point. His college friend Matt Bianchi's family knew the Spielbergs while in Arizona. Matt & Ryan attended USC and dreamed of a future in Hollywood. During their junior year Matt told Ryan that Spielberg had been given a long term directing contract at Universal and he was planning on working with him at his company Amblin Entertainment.  Ryan's real education started after USC when Matt introduced him to Amblin. The first person Ryan met was the CEO Jeff Smart. He was a bean counter and a real prick. But Ryan smiled and did his ‘I’m so thrilled to be here’ routine. Smart laughed in Ryan's  face.
