I am a lawyer by day and a writer in the early morning hours before the sun breaks the horizon. My fiction is fueled by bizarre dreams and an overactive imagination.

My fifth novel, Watch Party, is a contemporary murder-mystery/suspense novel that is a mash-up between Cast Away and Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None.

The Story Behind the Story for “A Good Way to Wind Up Dead”

For many reasons, A Good Way to Wind Up Dead was a difficult book to write, but most of those reasons had little to do with the book itself.
