Donna, thanks for adding me to your friends. I've been on many types of lists lately and it's a pleasure to land on a good one.

I started writing with a true crime book after I caught a serial killer in 2000. Since then I've written two fiction murder mysteries. I hope you will check out The Cruelest Cut and The Coldest Fear. I'm interested in the Crime Writers of Canada. Do they allow their southern cousins to join?
