Profile Information:

Hometown:
Newport News, Virginia, living in North Carolina
About Me:
I'm currently retired from sales and marketing work, but am back into business. Education in Political Science. I'm a veteran of the Marine Corps, before and during the Viet Nam era, which has a profound influence on most of what I write, whether mystery or literary. Am the founder of the short-lived International Crime Study Club of the early '80s, established for the purpose of investigating old and cold cases of murder and missing persons. And like my character, Wray Larrick, I just hate it when such a case goes unsolved in real life. Expect to live way past a hundred, unless somebody runs over me or shoots me first, which is a real possibility.
I Am A:
Reader, Writer

Books And Authors I Like:
James Lee Burke, Sue Grafton, Jonathan Kellerman, Elmore Leonard, Anne Frank, Robert B. Parker, the Florida mystery novelists Randy Wayne White & Edna Buchanan/others, Pat Conroy, Wm. Styron, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, I.B. Singer, Harrison E. Salisbury, Ernest Hemingway, Ken Follett, Elie Weisel, James Michener, Nelson DeMille, et al.
Movies And TV Shows I Like:
60 Minutes(news, documentaries & investigations), some crime & police series, including Shark, Kojak, Andy Griffith, Crime Story, Seinfeld, Tonight Show, the general run, but not overly so--seen'em all a million times, could write the damn things.

    I've only read a couple of his books and it was a long time ago. He just isn't among my favorites
