    Hayley Powell, a small-town food-and-wine columnist turned sleuth, finds herself caught between a deadly rivalry between seafood clans! 
     
     
      
    Food and cocktails columnist Hayley Powell usually reserves judgement for local cuisine, not the people who serve it. But staying neutral isn't so easy when caught between the biggest seafood rivals in town—her BFF Mona Barnes and the successful Leighton clan. Adding to a bitter decades-old surf-turf war between family businesses, a modern Romeo and Juliet story unfolds as Mona's son gets engaged to the daughter of her sworn enemy . . . 
     
     
      
    Spiteful patriarch Lonnie Leighton is also steamed about the arrangement—enough to go to dangerous lengths to break it up. At least, until he's discovered face down and dead in the clam flats. With unanswered questions swirling, accusations flying in both directions, and a young couple stuck in the middle, Hayley has bigger fish to fry than determining who sources the best shellfish in Bar Harbor. Because someone wants to get away with murder . . . and send whoever else gets in their way to a muddy grave.

    A Gripping Geopolitical Thriller That Plays Like a Blockbuster. 
    Reviewed by Christopher Cartwright in Australia on 28 July 2026  
    Mindset is a sprawling, relentlessly ambitious geopolitical thriller that feels less like reading a novel and more like watching a major international crisis unfold in real time.  
     Bill Fortin takes the reader deep inside an invisible war being fought through intelligence networks, political institutions, military power and carefully orchestrated deception. From the corridors of Washington to Beijing, Hong Kong, Iran and the Gulf of Oman, the story moves with cinematic intensity, building layer upon layer of conspiracy until the scale of the threat becomes breathtaking.  
     Many thriller writers can conduct extensive research and convincingly imagine the inner workings of governments, intelligence agencies and military operations. With Mindset, however, there is an unmistakable depth of firsthand knowledge behind the story. Fortin’s background in geopolitics and the United States military is evident on every page, lending the political maneuvering, operational detail and international conflict a level of authenticity that is difficult to manufacture. The result is a story that does not merely feel well researched, but to Bill's credit, feels lived. 
    Written in the tradition of Tom Clancy, and  W.E.B. Griffin, Mindset: The Invisible War delivers a hard-edged military and espionage thriller built around real-world strategic pressure points, advanced operational systems, submarine warfare, covert extraction teams, political intrigue, and the kind of backroom decisions that shape history before anyone knows they were made.This is fiction. But the vulnerabilities are very real.

    Drop That Gun! presents GUMSHOES ON PARADE, a compendium of razor-sharp short stories from the Golden Age of Pulp Crime Fiction. These classics from the 1930s and 1940s entertained millions of people. For the price of one thin dime, magazines printed on cheap pulp paper thrilled the reading public with stories about detectives--both police officers and private eyes--who risked their hides in service to the rule of law. Detectives earned the nickname "gumshoes" because many a sleuth wore rubber-soled shoes to help silence their footsteps while on the prowl. We got a big kick out of narrating these snappy stories. We hope you come back for more!
