Profile Information:

Hometown:
Tucson, Arizona
About Me:
I live an incredibly exciting life in the sun-baked desert with my husband and three cats. Turn-ons: writing on my laptop on a chaise outside, horseracing, cabins in the woods or cottages on the beach. Turn-offs: cat barf, high amazon numbers, and broccoli. I have two books in the Laura Cardinal mystery series, DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN and DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. Laura is based loosely on a real DPS detective here in Arizona, except she wears a bra and he doesn't (At least I don't think he wears a bra; you'd think his wife would have told me under the laws of full disclosure). You can call me Jake, even though I'm a girl.

Books And Authors I Like:
Better not. I'll miss somebody and then I'll be the only friendless person on Crimespace.

Movies: This is Spinal Tap, LA Confidential, Mulholland Drive, Seabiscuit, Phar Lap, Lonesome Dove, National Velvet, Casey's Shadow, Frequency, The Postman Always Rings Twice (1946), Double Indemnity, Psycho, Chinatown, Fargo, Slingblade, Gone With The Wind, Captain Blood (Dang, that Errol Flynn was cute), anything with Clark Gable in it. Anything with George Clooney in it. Anything with Denzel Washington in it. Anything with Harrison Ford in it. And horseracing on ESPN--anything with Kenny Mayne in it. Kingpin, Best in Show, Sunset Boulevard, Stranger than Fiction, Talladega Nights (What can I say? I'm a sucker for Baby Jesus talk at the dinner table.)

    Jane - I used to live in Bisbee, and have set one horror novel there (fitting) and also the beginning of one of my thrillers there. And my husband used to work for the Desert Museum! Small world.

    My relatives live in Wigan, where my mother was born. A far cry, I'm guessing, from Portsmouth.

    Oh, I shall definitely have to check out your books. Message me with details, if you like! I love reading books set in places where I've been. I thought Bisbee was lovely.

    You don't think he wears a bra- bwhahahaha. Probably thinks it's a holster. Which it is. Kinda. :-)
