About the author

Life involves risks, and no risk is greater than risking your very soul to save other people. In my novels people take that risk even when it leads into troubled moral waters and they must do things that need forgiveness.

When gold, greed, and a vacuum of law led to ruffians’ rule and a tolerance for murder, citizens took up arms against evil. They became known to history as the Vigilantes of Montana.
God’s Thunderbolt, The Devil in the Bottle, Gold Under Ice, and The Ghost at Beaverhead Rock (forthcoming Winter 2015) tell the story of Daniel Stark whose decisions test him in ways he never imagined. Joining the Vigilance Committee, lawyer Dan commits acts he cannot forgive himself for. When Martha McDowell’s brutal husband deserts her, she agrees to live with Dan though she fears McDowell’s return. But a greater danger arises when Dan is suspected of his murder.

I live in NW Montana where I enjoy walking up mountains, reading, caring for three 97-year-old peonies that I rescued from my grandmother's grave. I'm married to my best friend. Sir Richard, who shares my love of suspense stories and keeps our computers healthy.
