October 30th, 2012 I used to have an apartment within a ten minute walk from my mom’s house. At the end of her street was the local cemetery. Every time I walked past it, I would look in, and I started noticing little details about the place. In fact, every cemetery I’ve ever set foot […]
January 16th, 2013 What happens when you find yourself dating again after divorce? Lots of disappointing dinners, so many moments of laughing with your friends about dates gone bad, frustration beyond belief, and hopelessness, thinking the last of the good guys are taken.

What three books inspired me to start the Cue Ball Mysteries and write Playing With Poison? Finally, an easy question!

There’s a great line in Tom Wolfe’s classic The Right Stuff, about the early days of the space program, where he talks about how test pilots who would fly high-performance jet aircraft on the heels of a mortal hangover. Wolfe quotes them as saying, “I don’t advise it, you understand, but it can be done.” Rain on Your Wedding Day by Curtis Edmonds […]
Every author takes inspiration from different types of books, but I’d guess that my inspiration for Public Attraction is especially unusual: Fifty Shades of Grey, Bared to You, and Pride and Prejudice.
