Born in Winnipeg, Canada - which probably explains my intense dislike of all things cold - I actually spent most of my early years in Southern Ontario. At 22 I sold off my few meager life's possessions and headed for Hollywood, where I spent the next 8 years writing screenplays that never saw the light of day (you should all be eternally grateful for that blessing) Living in So Cal was a life lesson all in itself and I think it had a lot to with the type and quality of books and stories I've been writing since I left L.A. - following an all too short 18 month stint in Hawaii.

I recently returned to Canada from a 3-year contract in Bermuda in the IT field, where was a Senior Network Engineer for a law firm. But writing is what I love and most evenings and weekends that's what you'll find me doing, though that may change some when the summer rolls around and the reefs beckon. My first mystery novel, L.A. Heat was published 2006. « less
