About
Raised in California, but now residing in Richmond, Virginia by way of service to the U.S. Air Force (1993-1999), I have been writing and teaching English literature for over fourteen years. I have always loved mystery novels which featured protagonists who had their own demons to fight as they saved the day, so to speak. My novel, Murder on Second Street: The Jackson Ward Murders, is a blend of history and fiction. The plot is set during a very pivotal time in American history: 30 days before the infamous Black Tuesday, October 29, 1929 in the historic neighborhood of Jackson Ward in Richmond, Virginia. My second mystery novel, Sex, Lies & Shoeboxes features a troubled woman detective name Bobbie Vale. Her most recent case is digging up a dark past she preferred remained hidden.
I've also written and directed several award winning full-length and short plays several of which have been performed on Off-Broadway and Off Off Broadway. In 2013, I published my collection of short modern plays, On the Cusp of Humanity.
