My parents taught me early that books opened one's mind to other worlds, and I've always loved to read. I was soon drawn to edgy suspense and thriller authors like Harlan Coben, Karin Slaughter, and Stephen King. I have always liked to write, beginning with lyrics to songs I wrote and performed as a musician. But when I started creating novels, thrillers were the genre I wanted to specialize in.
While I began writing full-length novels somewhat late in life, in the past five years, I authored eight fast-paced, pulse-pounding Wallowa Lake Thrillers, each stand-alone but featuring some recurring characters. Following those, I wrote five individual psychological/paranormal suspense novels; and I'm working on another one now. Many of my protagonists are feisty females. To relax from writing, I play rock guitar.
Editing, covers, and promotional costs keep book releases to a minimum--only four eBooks self-published thus far. The most current is The Fret Master, published in March 2025. Earlier releases included Angel of Oregon, published last summer, The Wood Sprite, in 2023, and the first book, The Wailing, the previous year. All four are now available as eBooks and in PDP paperback through IngramSpark or Barnes & Noble. I hope to continue publishing new thrillers once or twice a year.
