About Me:

My seven crime novels in the Dan Marlowe/Hampton Beach crime series are all available in Trade Paper and as Ebooks. They are "The Boss of Hampton Beach," Hampton Beach Homicide," "Blood On Hampton Beach," "Honeymoon Hotel," "Murder on the Island," "The Hampton Beach Tapes," and "Hampton Beach Heist."

My Hampton Beach, NH bartender protagonist in all the novels is named Dan Marlowe. The real Dan Marlowe was my Dad's best friend and wrote his crime masterpiece"The Name of the Game is Death" while living with my family. He named a character in the novel after me, so I have returned the honor.
I also have a published crime novel, the first in a proposed series, called "The Combat Zone," about a PI who hangs his hat in 1970's Harvard Square and prowls the Combat Zone, Boston's red-light district. It was a finalist in the Minotaur/Private Eye Writers of America "Best First Private Eye Novel" competition. Its available in Trade Paper and ebook.The second book in the series is almost completed.
I have had short stories published in Hardboiled, Spinetingler, Boys' Life, Over My Dead Body, The Rap Sheet, Stone Cold--Best New England Crime Stories, Plan B, Near To The Knuckle, Yellow Mama, Naked Kiss, Shotgun Honey, Bethlehem Writers Roundtable, Kings River Life, Twist of Noir, Plan B Anthology 3, Short Story Digest, Short Story.Me!, and others.
I also collect vintage Noir/Hardboiled paperbacks. Part of which is, I believe, the largest collection of Dan Marlowe novels, magazine stories and inscribed items.
I am an "Active" member of Mystery Writers of America.
