As a former police chief, I write crime fiction with teeth. Here is more about my book included in the giveaway.

“Color of the Prism,” a contemporary novel is based on true events in the life of the author. This realistic story reflects a blend of fact and fiction into a journey of intrigue, love, betrayal, and tragedy in this police thriller on the Arizona-Sonora border.
The story follows Tucson Police undercover agent Antonio Castenada who spearheads an investigation into the violent cartel of Reynaldo Guzman, a prominent businessman and drug kingpin.
The complexity of Castenada’s work is multiplied exponentially by the conflicts that challenge his personal and professional life as opposed to the unseemly role he plays as a cartel member. Alone in the netherworld of corruption, his decisions will impact his family life forever as he scrambles to out-maneuver Guzman and his hired assassin, Julian Espino Gatica.
“Color of the Prism” and its non-traditional ending illuminate the true world of crime and corruption unseen by most people. Indeed, it is the last color of the prism.

  Trust but Verify February 2024 Where Did I Find That Story? Among the many questions I receive as an author is: How do you arrive at what you are writing? My response is simple yet complex. Nothing happens in a vacuum. Every story has to have a start and an ending. Think of it as a sandwich—two slices of bread are the beginning and end; the “meat” is the story itself. It needs primary and supporting characters and a specific setting. But, most importantly, it must have a compelling storyline—the “who, where, what, and how” of the story. I found the foundation for my writing in my professional career—fifty years of policing.  Adding to that is my personal life of family, religion, and education. Pulling this together is my passion for research and writing. I combine that with my wife and enjoy traveling throughout North America, the U.K., Europe, Russia, and the Middle East. That covers millions of square miles, cultures, religions, and customs. Add that to my personal lif

The Season is Upon Us N "The Third Dawn: Bethlehem to Golgotha" is perfectly timed for two reasons. With our world in a madhouse tumult, we need to take a break from it. Sit back, relax, and enjoy a wonderful book Why? Whether for yourself or for another, this is the season of religious and/or secular celebrations. Secondly, as the book's introduction cites, the era of Jesus of Nazareth was tumultuous under the iron fist of the Romans. Now, times are similarly challenging with the war that is being fought day and night, unending for men, women, and innocent children. Please take a moment to read a reviewer's comments: Compelling and often emotion-filled reading. The Third Dawn  by author Thomas J. Nichols is a new historical fiction account of the greatest story ever told. Written from multiple points of view of the participants, the author breathes life into the people, events, history, and place. One of the main characters, Nur, enters the story as a wise beyond

  Blog March 2024 West Texas As we travel and tell folks we live in Texas, especially West Texas, they curl their lips, squint, and spew, "Why would you want to live there?" At first, I was insulted that someone would say that, but eventually, I understood it precisely. Good people who have never lived here don't honestly know or understand Texas—especially West Texas. We live in the Llano Estacado of Texas, or to be precise, we are at 3,239 feet in altitude in the South Plains, just south of the Panhandle. But there is much more to why we live here. Take the next five minutes and enjoy this video. Then, you will want to pack up and get moving because life here is exceptional. Click on Wyman Meinzer's West Texas (youtube.com) and inhale the truth of West Texas . This is the Texas we live in and love. From here, there is no limit to the creative juices  that flow and the stories to tell. We keep roughly 4,500 acres under lease just off the  Caprock, which gives
