I have a B. A. Degree from the University of Texas, Austin, with a major in political science and a minor in history. In addition, I pursued legal studies at UCLA before working as a lawyer’s assistant. Stock market investments have made foreign travel possible, and I’ve since visited Europe extensively, including London, Paris, Berlin, Prague, as well as Lugano and Milan. Many of these cities, I’ve used in my stories. Murder Without Pity, a murder mystery, takes place in Paris. The Killing Ploy, a spy thriller, is set partly in several Continental capitals. Darkness and Blood, a sequel, will also occur in various European locales. Murder Without Pity and The Killing Ploy are in e-book format and are available at Amazon and Smashwords.
