Hello, and welcome to my new website.

If you're already familiar with me, and/or Joe Hannibal, I hope you still will find something of interest and perhaps learn some new things during your visit here. If you're seeing our names for the first time, I hope you'll stick around and become more familiar with us.

I've been writing stories and novels about Hannibal, my fictional private eye, for twenty-five years now, making it one of the longer-running PI series still being published. Oh, yeah... and probably one of the lesser recognized. Frankly, a primary reason for this website is to try and change the latter.

A new Hannibal novel, the sixth in the series -- The Day After Yesterday -- is due out in September from Five Star Books. I hope you'll check it out. If things go according to plan, in conjunction with that release there will be an original Hannibal short story ("The Lake Bottom Bones") available along with the novel's listing on Amazon. And in the meantime, if you follow the prompts, elsewhere on this site you can find another original, never-before-published Hannibal story entitled "The Loveliest Tail".

I appreciate and look forward to any feedback from readers that might ensue. I'm a lifelong fan of the whole hardboiled mystery/detective genre and enjoy few things more than communicating with others who share the same interest.

Thanks again for checking us out!
