Veil's first mystery thriller, 'Have Cigar, Will Travel,' introduces to the reading public his protagonist, Mike Shoemaker. Mike is a private investigator based in Tampa who has solved a number of high-profile cases before he is hired in 'Have Cigar' to investigate a female heiress's disappearance.
Veil is currently working on his second Mike Shoemaker mystery thriller, also based in Tampa, which has the working title of 'Lions and Tigers and Bare Bodies.' The book is scheduled to be e-published in late spring/early summer. Veil is simultaneously working on other Shoemaker novels with publishing dates TBD.
Veil's Working Philosophy in writing these books is to craft reasonably realistic plots that are intelligently written and include lots of humor, lots of sex, but minimal amounts of violence. 'Make Love, Not War,' as John Lennon used to say. The Veil novels are non-sexist and respectful of women, and inclusive of the LGBT community. (As for the cover image, the only character in 'Have Cigar' the model matches happens not, in fact, to be female.) On the other hand the books do not kowtow to Political Correctness either. As a matter of fact, Mike Shoemaker can often be found railing against PC BS and its many manifestations.view less
