A Little Background

I am a lifelong writer of stories and poems and songs and now, novels. As a kid my mom and I would try to plot whodunits on Sunday afternoons; in middle school my friends and I tried to develop our own superhero comic book; and in college I wrote song lyrics for my pop-punk band Gone Ashley. But I’ve had a novel stuck in my head for the last 20 years and it’s about time for me to let it all out.

Professionally, I have been a storyteller throughout my long law enforcement career. I have written factually about the mundane to the maniacal. I have told my peers, my bosses and juries about what I have seen and done, what I’ve investigated and what I’m able to prove. It is a procedural and clinical style; something I have brought over to my fiction writing.

So, at this crossroad of my life and my career, well into my 40’s and in the downswing toward retirement; I am going to live out my dream of being a writer. I have my wife and my daughter in my corner and the whole world for an audience.
