About

I am the author of the Rock & Roll Mystery Series. My first novel, Rock & Roll Homicide, has been two Kindle Top 100 lists from June 2014 through October 2014.  My second novel, Rock & Roll Rip-Off won the Premier Book Awards 2010 Mystery/Thriller of the Year. The third book in the series, The Concert Killer, was voted "Fan Favorite" by my readers. The 4th novel, The Classic Rockers Reunion with Death, opened with a TV interview on NBC and a very fun launch party with live rock music. Diamonds, Clubs, and Rock & Roll has been described as the "most imaginative" novel in the series, taking place in an undersea club on the floor of La Jolla Cove.
