BIOGRAPHY I'm an environmental activist, animal rescuer, skeptic and hesitant optimist.
Lover of Santa Monica's Dark Side, dual Canadian/American citizen, and Californian. My novels feature complex characters and plots rather than explosions and car chases. It's all a matter of taste, isn't it?
Crime fiction author, 6 crime fiction novels in 2 series, one featuring a homicide detective in the Santa Monica, California police department, the 2nd featuring a Kern county sheriff's department detective and his prickly ally, a village patrol officer. Both series are police procedurals.
I've also published 7 EBooks on topics that help you in "Writing Your First Mystery". I love talking to emerging mystery writers and do an occasional editing job if I really like the work. I spend way too much time alone and appreciate human contact.
Books without suspense drone on and on. There's little incentive to turn the page to see what happens next. The "little did she know" technique just doesn't work anymore. What does? Here's a guide to see what traditional, current, and new strategies do work.
