  Introduction by the Author

  I became a writer in the summer of 1994.

  Three years and three months later, in the fall of 1997, I became a published author.

  During this time, two true crime cases dominated our culture, the public national trial that was the O. J. Simpson case and the horrific, tragic death of JonBenét Ramsey—both of which are experiencing renewed interest as I write this, because they too are marking their twentieth anniversary.

  Power in the Blood was my very first attempt at writing a novel—not just my first novel to be published, but the first I ever wrote.

  Writing is like anything else—you learn by doing, by practice. I’ve been practicing the craft of writing for nearly twenty-three years now. In that time I’ve gotten better at it, grown and evolved, discovered my voice, honed my style.

  After twenty-plus years of writing, the Power in the Blood I would write today is not the Power in the Blood that was published twenty years ago. Of course, if I hadn’t written that Power in the Blood back then, I wouldn’t be able to write Cold Blood, the novel I’m writing as I write this. Way leads to way. Book leads to book. Everything builds on that which comes before.

  The writer I am today is only because of the writers I was before.

  How did I become that first fledgling writer?

  I was probably born with a love of story. I can certainly remember craving story as a child. Being moved by story are among my earliest memories.

  As a teenager who was reading mostly nonfiction, I was led to detective fiction by, of all things, a TV show. Spenser for Hire led me to the books by Robert B. Parker the show was based on, and I fell in love with character, prose, and dialog.

  After high school, I moved from my small Florida Panhandle town of Wewahitchka to Atlanta—not unlike John Jordan—and though I was there for theological training, it was a lit class taught by Tricia Weeks that was to be among the most inspirational and influential of my undergraduate degree program.

  Then I happened upon the 1990 Avenel edition of G. K. Chesterton’s Father Brown Crime Stories in a dusty old bookstore in Atlanta the year I graduated from theology college and was ordained, and it was nothing less than serendipitous. During that momentous year of transition, as I was being born into my adult life, Chesterton in many ways became my literary father, and Brown the fictional father to my ecclesiastical sleuth, John Jordan.

  Between 1988 and 1994, I attempted on and off to write short stories and screenplays, but it wouldn’t be until the summer of ’94, as I was finishing my graduate degree in theology and about to enter into full-time prison chaplaincy, that I became a writer. That summer, in an upstairs room at my parents’ house I converted into my library and study because my small home didn’t have room for them, in the semi-coolness provided by the inefficient window unit, after a long and drawn-out delivery, a writer was born. John Jordan was born. This book was born.
