I’m an old dog, junk-yard pedigree, a litigator by profession, and a consummate New Yorker.  In 2017 my wife and I moved to the outskirts of a small town in Northern Colorado and settled in, slowly.  It was truly life on Mars, in equal parts disconcerting and wonderful, although the people (and animals) out here are only the latter.  However, this cosmic shake-up — along with a casual encounter with a magical beast — reanimated my creativity genes, and voila, The Wise Ass, my first novel in an over-the-top trilogy was born.  Thanks to you five readers, and a few others, TWA has been a repeated best-selling top contender on a number Amazon’s  Lists.   I am thrilled by each new review posted on Amazon and other literary sites.  I read them all.  

The Second Book of the Claire Trilogy, An Alien Appeal, was released on December 23, 2021 and is also a top best seller on Amazon.  It has been getting rave reviews.

The Third Book of the series, Kissing My Ass Goodbye, was published on March 24, 2022, and, like the others, is available from BRW, Amazon and other major distributors.  It too debuted as an Amazon  Best Selling New Release. Claire is thrilled! 

One reviewer, Dianne Daunt, titled her review of WTLLM “A Rocket Ride” and  commented on the entire series as follows:

“The Claire Saga is one of the very best fantasy/s[c]i-fi series I have ever read.  On the 5 point scale above I wanted to give it a 10. The creativity in bringing diverse story lines together in every complex relationship had my head spinning.   

This Final Chapter was a very quick read, one I will go back and re-read again soon.  While the Claire Saga is ‘complete’ I certainly hope that those that survived will tell us their stories in the near future.”

I should also mention that one of my Essays, Bronx Irish Born, appears in the Colin Broderick literary collection of Irish writers, The Writing Irish Of New York.

If you want an inscribed copy (always my preference), Colin is more than happy to accommodate you:

I also have a recorded Podcast on the Carnegie Hall segment of Read650.org, of me reading my short essay Real Writers Weep:

There is an article in which I am included in The Fordham Lawyer magazine in early 2022: https://digital.law.fordham.edu/

There is also an author interview regarding An Alien Appeal in the November/December Uncaged Books on-line magazine: click here to have a look.

In the meantime, check out my blogs on this website, which detail some of the stories from my misspent youth – and include a whole cast of characters for whom fiction could not do justice.  It also provides readers with the backstories to The Claire Saga.  

Finally, check out my son Luke McCaffrey’s debut novel, Lebanon Red, an action adventure – think Jack Reacher meets Jason Bourne – that can be purchased from BRW, Amazon & B&N.  His second novel, Bulletproof, a sequel to LR, drops in 2025.  It is amazing. 

Good luck Luke.
