I live on a small island off the coast of Virginia, surrounded by the serenity of the bay on one side and the ocean on the other. With an eye for visual detail, I've been a professional graphic designer for years, but my first love is writing, and I've been doing it most of my life. Though I've written four books and countless short stories, essays and poetry prior to writing "A Shot in the Dark", this novel is my first venture into publication. I'm currently working on the novel's as-yet-untitled sequel.
