Welcome to my Author's Page. 

I write books that tend to defy particular genres, including memoir, romantic suspense, thriller, mystery, and erotica. 

UPDATES: I'm currently at work on Book #3 of the Cota Club series, a romantic suspense featuring Tate McCormick's story.

Dialysis: a Memoir describes my experience of kidney failure and life After.

Love and Money: a Santa Barbara Mystery is Book #1 of the Cota Club series and focuses on Kristi McCormick, rookie PI on her first case.

The Offering is Book #2 of the Cota Club series and stars Carla DeVille, CIA agent extraordinaire as she investigates a sect of the Illuminati.

Finding Clarity: Romantic Suspense in the Humboldt Redwoods tells the interwoven tale of a heroine and hero who find clarity in their lives as they confront the wilds of both men and nature in the Emerald Triangle.

About Me

I grew up in Southern California, with a side trip around the world as a kid, college at Harvard, and a few unforgettable years in Santa Barbara. My literary taste runs the gamut from Shakespeare, Poe, and Austen, to Elizabeth Lowell, Toni Morrison, and Jo Nesbo. I write lighter books that my readers can have fun with (except my memoir, which is more of a cope-and-deal story)
