A little intro. I write detective fiction, which I call North Noir, aka Canuck Noir. You know what I say? “Leave your Scandinavian Noir in the sauna. It’s time for North Noir.”

On the bio side, I grew up in Canada and the USA (Nova Scotia and Boston). I’ve traveled the world, working dozens of jobs. Like any good detective, I know both sides of the thin blue line. I’ve used numerous aliases (for non-nefarious purposes, of course). You’ll have to take my word on that.

Keep coming back. I’ll be posting blogs about writing detective fiction as well as fiction in general. I’ll post book reviews. I’ll keep you up-to-date on the progress of my North Noir novels, featuring Detective Sergeant Eva Naslund. The novels follow prescribed narrative conventions, such as the inclusion of forensic detail, yet the prose isn’t formulaic. It’s as important as the plot. Welcome!

The first novel, Bay of Blood, is available in stores and online; see https://ampnorthnoir.com/contact-me/

The next North Noir novel will be published by Stark House Press in late 2022 or early 2023. The novel, the first in a series set in New England, turns on Boston, the Balkans, and Cape Cod.
