About Me

HOW DID I GET STARTED WRITING?

I was hooked when I was 10 years old.  While visiting my Grandma over a Christmas vacation, she gave me a copy of the Sherlock Holmes story, The Hound of the Baskervilles. I read it in one while sitting through a long winter evening. I WAS HOOKED on mysteries and suspense stories!

Since then, I’ve written two suspense novels, Reprisal and Fallout.

In between writing, I practice law as a criminal defense lawyer.  I’m also in a jazz group called, “BlueMood”  That’s me in the  lower right with the saxophone!

What will you get from my books?

If you like books that are “page-turners” that you can’t put down or you’d like to learn what it’s really like “behind the courtroom doors,” try my books.  I also do extensive research on my character’s backgrounds, such as Islam, and technical details such as how plagues spread and what the Center for Disease Control will do to fight them and how experts can retrieve data from our smartphones years after we’ve deleted it.

My settings include many foreign ones that I’ve either visited in person or have done research to make them accurate and life-like.

What’s it like to be a trial lawyer?  What pressures and strategies and tricks does a lawyer use in trial?  Read my books to find out.

I’m a member of the following writer’s groups:
