Author Biography

My grandmother introduced me to crime mysteries by giving me a Sherlock Holmes novel when I was ten---I've been hooked ever since! Maybe that's what led me into 30+ years working as both a prosecutor and Public Defender. I have tried jury trials from misdemeanors to murders. Five of my books have been published along with a short story, included in a crime anthology. I also play the saxophone in a jazz group and a rock band that plays all Bob Dylan music. Married also for 30+ years, I have two adult children.
