An annual conference at the iconic Grand Hotel turns tragic when Vince Walker, a preeminent automotive consultant, witnesses a brutal murder-only to realize the victim was a close friend. While on the run after being framed for the killing, he must uncover a conspiracy of corporate embezzlement and systematic killings to save his own life as well as hundreds of others. With time running out and new threats to his family, Vince and his wife must work together to search for answers-a task made more difficult by their already stressed relationship. Can they put their differences aside and save their lives and their marriage? The Grand Secret is a vivid portrayal depicting how greed and corporate politics can lead people to do the unimaginable. Lives with his wife in South Lyon, Michigan and has two grown daughters.An avid traveler, he constantly seeks new experiences to fill his short time here on this earth.

He's parachuted out of six airplanes and off of one mountain in New Zealand. Ran the Detroit Free Press full Marathon-26.2 miles. Grew his hair super long, and also shaved it totally bald. He went through the fertility process and came out the other side with two beautiful girls and his marriage still intact. Was the lead singer in his corporate band, until they eventually brought in real musicians who could really sing. But it was fun while it lasted. He let his brother and his friend climb twenty foot trees, and then Ed chopped them down. He once woke up at 2 am in a bar only to realize he and a friend were locked IN the bar. He and his wife cared for his mother-in-law during the last seven months of her life while she was bedridden due to a brain tumor. The most rewarding experience for everyone involved. He scuba-dived the Great Barrier Reef, Walked the Great Wall of China, and stepped inside the Pyramids of Giza. His best experiences are the one's he's sharing with friends and family. Sometimes, the most enjoyable times are as simple as savoring a beer on the patio with them.None of these adventures compares with the scary proposition of exposing your writing for the world to read. He hopes you enjoy the challenges his characters have to live through. Or die for.
