Welcome you to my website. I’m the author of five books, both literary fiction and literary mystery. My novels are published by 4am Books. Please look around my website and read more about the reviews, commendations, and awards I received for my writing.

   The next few months will be busy ones for me. I’m teaching a memoir writing class and making a presentation on mystery writing. A group of seniors registered for memoir writing. While I teach them the structure of writing, I hear some fantastic stories about their lives. With this class, the benefits definitely go both ways.

   The mystery writing course is associated with National Novel Writing Month. This is a well-known program that encourages budding writers to take the month of November to write a 50,000-word novel. My program, scheduled for October, gives those writers a leg up with some tips on early preparation, character development, and scene structure, then it will be Ready-Set-Go! for November.

   Please make use of my website. From here, you can purchase my books, send me a message, and take a look at maps of Havens, Ohio, the town I created for the Wrenn Grayson Mystery series.

   I recommend signing up for my newsletter. It provides many more insights into the writing life, as well as advance notice of new releases and opportunities for free eBook downloads. 

   Nice meeting you and thanks for stopping by.
