About My Writing . . .

As a writer, I work hard to entertain. What sets me apart from other psychological thriller/mystery writers is that my principal characters are a rag-tag family of adopted kids who have baggage from their lives before adoption. They deal with it as best they can, but seem to find themselves in situations that most of us might find difficult to deal with. They stumble into life-threatening situations, but are guided and helped by law enforcement and FBI.

I have nine books published and available on Amazon, B & N, or through my publisher, Black Rose Writing, and I'm working on number ten. Caught in a Web (2018) won a PenCraft Literary Award and was named "One of the best crime fiction novels of 2018" by Best Thrillers. Spiral Into Darkness was named a Reader's Favorite Recommended Read. Betrayed is a Maxy Award Runner-up for Fiction-Crime-, and won a Literary Titan Silver Book Award. Blaze In, Blaze Out has won a Literary Titan Gold Book Award, a Reader's Favorite Recommended Read, was selected as an Editor's Choice by BestThrillers, and was highlighted in The Big Thrill. I retired from education in July of 2020 after serving youth and families as a teacher, coach, counselor and administrator, and I now work part-time as an online educator. I'm happily married with three children (my son, Wil, deceased in 2014) and I live in Fredericksburg, VA.
