According to Lieutenant Art Adkins,
“The Oasis Project is my first publicized novel, but I have been
writing for the last 18 years. I have received many accolades for The Oasis Project. Midwest book review
labeled it a "must read" and a "grade-A pick". I received Detective-Suspense book of
the year for 2008 from Books-and-Authors.net. I have recently completed the sequel, Power Grid, with the
same cast of characters and I am currently working on the third novel, Mind Games. The detective-murder
mystery genre has always intrigued me and I have woven a considerable amount of police procedural into the books.
Each topic is relevant to issues confronting society today and the reader can readily identify with the controversies
which arise.”
