Hello and welcome to my new Blog page.
I will try to keep this up as much as possible, but time is hard for me to find where I can sit down and type.
We have waited for summer to get here for what seemed like forever. Now we can get out and do things we could not do in the winter.

I am sorry it has taken so long to update this Blog. It has been a short summer. Living in a house that was built in 1907, there are always things that have to be fixed. On top of all that, we have had several doctor appointments leading up to my wife’s surgery. She is on the recovery stage now.
The latest Steve Hawks novel, New World Order: The Rise of Power, is now in audio-book format on Spotify.com.
I will go back to writing when the cold weather kicks in. It will be in book 4 of the Steve Hawks Series. Alongside that, I am writing new pieces based on two short stories I have.
She Rises at Dawn is one of my short stories that is about a female private detective.
Here is a section from her new story.
She opened her eyes to see Eric watching her. He smiled and slid his hand over her side onto her back. Pulling her closer, she could feel his welcome gift against her leg. He was in no hurry to leave and go to work, nor was she. They made love again, just like they had during the night, several times.
The phone finally broke the tension, and he swore. But she just kissed him again and let the phone ring. He reached for it, and she said, “It’s mine. Let it ring.” So he did.
It started again, and this time he said, “I think we need to answer that. It is getting late.”
She looked at him and said, “Fine.” She grabbed the phone and said hello.
“Pat, you coming in today?” Julia said.
“Why?”
“Because you had a phone call and they want to meet with you.”
“Okay, I will be there by eleven.” She hung up.
“Work calls?” Eric said as he climbed out of bed.
“I guess so.” She patted the bed. He smiled, leaned over, and kissed her.
“I need to go in too,” he said. “They probably wonder why I am not there already.”
“I may have a new client. Of course, that is to be seen. The last one that came in wanted me to find their dog that was missing,” she said and climbed out of bed.
“I’ll call you,” Eric said as Pat headed for the shower.
She stopped at the bathroom door to look at his six-foot – five, hundred- and-eighty-pound frame and thought, wow, what a hunk.
“Will I see you tonight?” she said.
“Maybe.” He smiled and closed the door.
Sergeant Eric Brown was not worried about being late for work. Detectives could come and go as they pleased, and he was quite pleased this morning. Patricia Michaels owns her own detective agency, so she, too, can go in whenever it pleases her. But she was quite pleased with him this morning. Now, she would have to see what this fresh case could be about and hoped that it was worth taking on.

Been busy doing chores around here. My hobby is Amateur Radio, so I had to rebuild an antenna since I lost access to the south of me. A couple of weeks ago, my wife and I had to run over to the son’s farm because the cows got out of the fenced in area. That was fun trying to get two 300 pound cows back in the pen. Food is a good attraction. If you carry a bucket with feed in it, they will follow you anywhere.
I am wishing to find a place out in the country so that we can move and I can put up bigger antennas, plus have no next door neighbors. Not sure that will happen as we own our house outright. Payments are not something my wife wants at this time.
Enjoy the rest of the summer and be careful if you are in an area that has the wildfire smoke affecting your breathing.
Until net time,
John
I find it funny that my latest book has received reviews on Goodreads, but no one has posted on Amazon and I know there have been sales there. Please leave a review if you have bought and read my books. Thank you.
New World Order: The Rise of Power
5 Star Reviews
“New World Order is a thoughtful and surprisingly absorbing look at how power, belief, and global influence shape the world behind the scenes. What stood out to me most was the way John Poindexter blends real-world tension with fictional elements, making the story feel grounded but still unpredictable.
The pacing is steady, giving you time to understand each idea before the next layer is introduced. I also appreciated how the book challenges you to think about leadership, control, and how easily society can be influenced without realizing it.
It’s the kind of read that makes you pause, reflect, and question a few things long after you’ve finished the chapter. If you enjoy political commentary mixed with conspiracy-driven themes, this book delivers that angle in a clear and direct way.
Overall, it’s a solid, thoughtful read from an author who clearly put a lot of intention into the message behind the story.”
“This is a gripping, high-stakes thriller that pulls you in from the very first page and never lets go.
Hawks and his team navigate a world thick with corruption, betrayal, and rising anger against broken systems, where danger lurks at every turn. The tension is constant, and the stakes feel incredibly real.
The mastermind behind it all is chillingly brilliant, making the final confrontation intense, unforgettable, and genuinely breathless.
A powerful, edge-of-your-seat read that deserves far more attention.”
“From the first chapter to the shocking finale, this book delivers nonstop tension and intelligence. Couldn’t put it down!”
All the Steve Hawks novels have received only 5-star ratings on Goodreads.
