Hey All! I’m pleased to announce that the next Kirk Hoffman Legal Thriller is out! The Shooter is now available on Amazon. Here is the description: A FORMER CIA AGENT IS FOUND DEAD IN THE DESERT. Attorney Kirk Hoffman’s vacation is interrupted by a call from his work associate Mike Rikter, who’s asking for help with a “situation.” Upon his arrival, Hoffman discovers that Rikter’s old friend has been gunned down in the middle of the desert, presumably by a sniper. Rikter is immediately under suspicion, and even Hoffman has his doubts about the man. A TWISTED PAST AND AN EVEN MORE TWISTED INVESTIGATION. It quickly becomes apparent that Rikter’s past has come back to haunt him. Rikter and Hoffman narrowly escape death, and are led on a winding chase through Zion National Park that ends with no answers, only more questions. Hoffman wants to believe Rikter is innocent but every time he turns around he finds evidence that suggests otherwise. Rikter has the skills and the determination, but does he have a motive? EVERY NEW DISCOVERY BRINGS MORE QUESTIONS. Hoffman finds himself dodging bullets as he repeatedly risks his life in a quest for the truth, but time is running out. Whoever is behind the attacks—Rikter or somebody else—has an endgame that they’re pushing toward. And they’re willing to kill whoever they must to accomplish their goals. Can Kirk Hoffman stop them in time? Buy your copy today to find out! The Shooter was a ton of fun to write and I believe you’ll have a lot of fun reading it as well. A few more updates: The Rat’s Nest Audiobook is ready to publish, I just need to do it. Expect to see it sometime in the next few weeks! My YA Fantasy Malcom Braxton and the Dragon War is scheduled for release in September. Yes, it’s dragons and magic, but it’s basically a thriller and the lead character likes to solve problems with bullets. I’m now working hard on Company Man featuring Vince Hunter, a never before seen protagonist. This book is getting very close. I’d put it somewhere between 80% and 90% done. After that, I start work on the next Mitch Turner novel. I have the seed of an idea that is really exciting and I can’t wait to get on it. That’s all I can say about that at this point but its going to rock. That’s all for now, have a killer rest of your summer! —Dan Decker

Well sometime within the last month or two. I don't remember exactly when, I don't remember the exact date. The Good Client, which is really the book that kicked off my career as an author, crossed over 10,000 ratings and reviews on Amazon, which is just astonishing to me.

Well, we are finally coming to the end of the number of minutes I can release from the Fixer audio book before I start to run into problems with my exclusivity agreement on Audible. So today, I'm happy to present you with chapter eight, which will be the last free chapter I can post. There are now eight total chapters out there available various places on YouTube, on my website, on Substack, and some of them even made it onto some social media platforms as well. So if you somehow missed those, definitely go and check those out today before we get into chapter eight of The Fixer. I did want to share a couple of recent reviews that came in from some readers that I really enjoyed that I thought were kind of fun. And so I will go ahead and read them for you now. One person said, this is a real thriller and I didn't want to put this one down. It kept me. He kept me guessing for sure. A must read and very suspenseful. I really like to hear that. That's always what I'm trying to go for, is to make it so it's difficult to put it down, and you just want to keep tearing through the pages. Another one said it's easy to get into many plot twists. You never know who the good guys are. This lawyer goes above and beyond for his client. And, uh, the way that he titled his review, there was never know who done it. Anyhow, a couple of really good reviews there that came in within the last, uh, little bit here, and I thought I'd share those with you. So today, here is chapter eight of The Fixer.

I am happy to report that Jason Maxfield number four was finished earlier this week! It was definitely a lot of fun, and I can't wait to get it out here in a few months for everybody to read. This is one of Jason's most interesting adventures so far. In this story, he returns back to Chicago in search of the truth about what happened to him in the fateful events of the first book, Max Damage. I'm very pleased with how the series is progressing, and I am excited to get this book done! Right now, it's going through beta readers. After that, I will probably make some minor adjustments and then send it over for copyediting and proofreading. So, great news on that front. Also, this week, Audrey Spencer #2 has my full attention! I already have a title in mind for this book because it has come to me much earlier in the process than normal. I think I actually came up with that when searching for a title for Jason Maxfield #4, which is still untitled. I need to get on that. Anyhow, I'm not ready to announce the title Audrey Spencer #2 yet, but I will be announcing it as I get closer to finishing the book. The good news is that before I went heads down on Jason Maxfield #4, I got a big chunk of this book done, so I'm already off to a running start. There's not a lot I'm gonna say about Audrey Spencer #2 yet. I will tell you, though, that both Detective Michaels and Detective Ramirez are back in the saddle too. Finally, I should mention that Amazon is running a sale this month on three of my novels. The first two Jason Maxfield books: Max Damage and Bad Blood. Also, The Killer's Club is on sale. So, if you haven't yet checked out any of those books, now is an opportunity to do so at a discount! You might've noticed that I've been posting chapters from my latest audiobook, The Fixer, and I think I still have at least one more chapter of the audiobook that I'm going to be putting up. If you have missed those, they are on my website, YouTube, Substack, Podcast, etc. Have a great weekend, everybody!
