BIOGRAPHY
I retired from the US Postal Service in 2010, after thirty-six years. Not long after, I became the proofreader and jack of all trades for author Connie Suttle, a long-time, very close friend.

With Connie as my inspiration, I decided to write a book of my own, Malefactor. The manuscript languished in a dusty computer folder for almost twenty years before I finally found my author's voice. I felt I had a good story idea, but I basically had to start over, because the old manuscript was woefully out of date.

Since publishing Malefactor on August 23, 2016, I've been working on the sequel, Transgressor. I'm happy to say Transgressor was published on December 23, 2017.

What's next? Ren Gifford Mysteries, Book Three, tentatively titled Underhanded. It's in progress now and I hope to publish by the end of this year.

I live in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, USA, with my two kids, Dingo and Ringo, miniature long-coat Chihuahuas.
