     You’ve found it! I’ve put together this website to showcase the mysteries I have been writing. Feel free to check back from time to time and join me in the process as I go from writing the first draft, through editing and revising, to finding an agent and publisher, to finally getting a finished product out on the shelves of the bookstores. I cannot say which of these novels, if any, will get published first, but learn with me as I take the plunge into the world of writing and publishing.

     I attended Murder in the Grove in Boise, ID in June and enjoyed hearing JA Jance, author of the Detective JP Beaumont series, and David Morrell, author of the first modern action novel, First Blood, on which the Rambo movies are based. Both authors had a great deal of wisdom to share and both were very funny. JA Jance even shared her enchanting singing voice with us, a capella. I plan to attend Killer Nashville again in August, this time bringing along a friend who is starting down the road toward finishing a novel and exploring publication.

     Some guidance to get you around my site. The links to the side in the top box will bring you to the first novels in each of the series. Within each, you will find sample chapters, links to people and places referenced in the novel, and additional links pertaining to the city featured in the novel.

     The links in the second box lead to informative and interactive pages. Check out The Process to learn more about writing and publishing, particularly what I've learned along the way. If you would like to leave me a message, either use the e-mail address at the bottom of each page, or follow the Leave Feedback link, which leads to a blog.

     Enjoy looking around and come back to see how far I’ve progressed down the road to publication!
