Background
Information

|
I've been writing seriously for more than 20 years, much of that time in technical writing and marketing communications. I've also written more than 200 published articles. My first love as a reader has always been mystery, and I'm proud that my first published works of fiction are two mystery short stories:
- "Who Put the Armadillo in the Avocado Dip?" in HARDBROILED, an anthology of food-related private eye stories (amazon.com, bn.com, walmart.com) -- a comedy introducing my protagonist Stacy McReady, animal lover, movie buff and wanna-be private eye.
- "Comeuppance" in TECHNO-NOIR, an anthology of technology-related short stories (amazon.com).
Stacy is also the star of my mystery novel, Don't Bet Against Murder, which I hope will be the first of a series. Watch this site for details about future stories and other creative ventures.
