About Me:

I began writing crime fiction in late 2005 under the aegis of NaNoWriMo, which I have completed five times.

Noir is my preferred mode of self-expression, but some of my work is merely medium-boiled. I've created a part-time P.I. name of Stafford Boyle as a means of self-preservation, figuring that a pee eye is one of the few ways to get firmly established in the crime fiction trade. He's a lot like me: somewhat neurotic, awkward socially, smart but not bright - if that makes sense.

In addition to my first novel Made for Murder (New Pulp Press-August 2015), I've completed a sequel entitled The Breastplate of Faith and Love. A collection of my short fiction is called Paying for Pain(New Pulp Press-Dec. 2015). At present, I'm in the middle of my third novel, a Stafford Boyle mystery called Sooner or Later, Delicate Death.
