I like to write crime fiction because I get to think up fabulous lies and live with the kind of people between my ears that I will never meet in real life. I can also pretend I’m 5’10 and 28 years old. This is not true.
I came to writing fiction late in life and am surprised to find myself the author of seven semi hard-boiled police procedurals, some set in glitzy Santa Monica, a beachside city in Los Angeles, some in a tranquil mountain village in the California mountains where I lived for twenty years. I’ve distilled what I’ve learned writing whodunits into seven eBooks on “Writing Your First Mystery.”
I’d like to tell you that I have a writing and blogging schedule that I adhere to rigidly, but this is also not true.

A trio of IT thieves dig in deep under the radar in a California mountain village to divert a truck shipment to sell on the black market in China. Holly Seabright, Village patrol chief and animal activist, is pulled into a high-tech heist of a rare cancer drug for children.
