Welcome to my site
A special thanks to all who have been so supportive of my writing. Your encouragement and advice have been invaluable to me.
Check out my debut novel, Dead Man’s Cave, and my published short stories below. “Tiny Solves the Case,” “Missing in Rehoboth,” “Pops,” and “Secrets” are included in the following anthologies and literary journal available for purchase on Amazon. I am currently working on the sequel to Dead Man’s Cave, a cozy mystery, and two thrillers.
Dead Man’s Cave
A crew of pirates and a famed treasure ship. Can a gifted captain steal a fortune, and then keep it against impossible odds?
Dead Man’s Cave is filled with astonishing twists and captivating action. If you like reading adventure stories, tales of horror set in dark caves, and endings you didn’t see coming, then you’ll love James Gallahan’s debut novel.

Judge’s Comments: This story would have been strong as a conventional whodunit: Samantha (Sam) Peterson is a charming everywoman who solves mysteries as a hobby, and her investigation of neighborhood thefts is fun to follow. But the addition of a supernatural sidekick in the form of Sam’s recently passed dog’s spirit gives the story a zippy flair that leaves me wanting more!
