His Hand in the Storm has just reached the top 100 of the Kindle free store (sitting at number 84, and this author hopes, climbing :-)

I'm so excited. I have no social platform to speak of. I have never published a book before. This is my first, and I am just thrilled.

Life could not have given me a better New Year gift.

Thanks to all the readers who are making this possible.

And a Happy New Year to you and your loved ones!

Amazon FREE download of detective murder mystery, His Hand in the Storm is #5 in its categories!


It's quite a ride learning how to do this self-publishing thing. And exciting to hit the charts. Just knowing so many people have my book in their hand, that it might (hopefully) make their evening more interesting and pleasant is awesome!

Let's see where we go from here.

My favorite traditional, cozy, and police procedural mystery authors and a mini bio


If I had three wishes, one would be to live in Cabot Cove, Maine -- if it existed.

Not that my reading tastes run exclusively to cozies (like Christie, Allingham, Sayers and many others). I'm also drawn like a magnet to the psychological traditional detective mystery writers: my mentor (who I took a master class with) Elizabeth George.PD James, Colin Dexter, Louise Penny, Henning Mankell, Ann Cleves, Carolyn Graham (original Midsomer murder novels) and too many others to list.

It is such a joy to finally write what I love... mysteries. And you the readers are making my second wish come true.

As to the third, I'm going to leave that open... because life is magical.

Coming soon: My 10-day mystery-writing master class with bestseller Elizabeth George (The Lyndley novels) in Tuscany!

Coming even sooner: Why do we need detectives in traditional murder mysteries to be attractive?
