Welcome Readers! To order your copy of Just Deceits, please CLICK HERE.
My first novel is a historical courtroom mystery entitled Just Deceits. Just Deceits recounts a scandalous trial of wealthy Richard Randolph and his sister-in-law, Nancy, who were defended against charges of adultery and infanticide by John Marshall and Patrick Henry. Click here to read an excerpt.
My second historical novel, tentatively entitled The Bones Beneath Our Feet, follows the battle of wills between Chief Leschi and Governor Stevens that led to the Puget Sound Indian War of 1855-56 (no current release date). I have also written poetry, book reviews, stories and essays, such as Tech Support Hell, which is reproduced here in full. My work has twice been nominated for the Pushcart Prize.
