Determined to confront the hazy memories of his troubled youth, Oliver Matthews, a retired detective and confirmed bachelor, returns to the picturesque town of Henley-on-Thames for the first time in years.
Soldier's Gap is a non-traditional mystery with literary elements. The high school principal is brutally murdered, but Deputy Sheriff Dave Jenkins's search for meaning and love is a much more significant theme.
"Murder isn't usually this fun
Words are my weapon and my therapy. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Background
Information
I started writing when I was 5. Being reclusive and shy, it is my outlet to express my inner termoil. Inspirations come from out of no where; a person walking down the street, an elderly man who could not find his car, my family, a song, an experience that could have turned out completely upside down...
I am a walking contradiction of myself, therefore you can expect my work to be the same. I can go from a completely dark piece to an inspirational piece. I take pride in my contradictions as you just never know what will come pouring out. It is always a surprise, not only to me, but to the reader as well.
I hope anyone who reads my work can keep an open mind, expect the unexpected.
My major influences are Poppy Z. Brite and Caitlin R. Kiernan. I also support a number of independant authors such as Frank Daniels and Charles Romalotti.
