Welcome to my page on the MWA website. If you like mysteries beginning with 'H' you've come to the right place, although that was a complete coincidence. However, my latest mystery/suspense novel is FORGET TO REMEMBER and the previous one is RUN INTO TROUBLE. Before that, in reverse order, came HONEYMOON FOR THREE, THE HAYLOFT and HOTLINE TO MURDER.
I wrote bad poetry as a child, and I'm still writing--bad poetry. I was a pioneer in the computer industry, joining IBM just when their first commercially successful computer system hit the market. I have a short story in the anthology edited by Jeffery Deaver and backed by MWA: A HOT AND SULTRY NIGHT FOR CRIME. My mysteries in print are listed here. I also have three out of print, available through Amazon Kindle: THIRTEEN DIAMONDS, CATCH A FALLING KNIFE and ACES AND KNAVES. See my website for more info. And I'm not through yet. Stay tuned.
