I tend to write novels that are a little controversial. I don't intend to, but a question grabs hold of my mind--Do we have a right to say no to medical technology? What would it be like to be Jackie Kennedy? What might happen if you found out you were adopted as an adult? What would it be like to live with grizzly bears? Where is Islamic extremism taking us?--and it won't let go. I have to explore it, I have to write about it. Since my interests are varied, my books are varied, perhaps too much so. But whatever the theme, I always explore identity, trying to reconcile the physical and non-physical worlds. My characters respond sensually to the world as I do, they question and doubt. It would be easier to be a different kind of writer maybe. I hope you get something out of my little efforts. I worked in the film industry for 15 years before selling my first novel “Confessions of a Deathmaiden” to Warner Books in 2003, followed by “Good Morning, Darkness,” which was selected by Publishers’ Weekly as one of the ten best mysteries of 2004, and “The Secret Memoirs of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.” I now have eight novels, including the best-seller “Amsterdam 2012,” published as an ebook. Whenever I have a chance, I write a short story that gets published in "The Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine." I currently live in Florida.
