THE BOOKS
My last hardcover came out over a decade ago. I took a long hiatus from writing, nurtured my architecture practice, got some kids grown and out the door, before settling back down at a keyboard again to do what I love. In that time the publishing world as I knew it is gone. I feel a bit like Rip Van Winkle, navigating the world of epublishing, social media, the proliferation of small websites devoted to crime fiction, etc. It's at once daunting and exciting. I look forward to the blue horizon.

A story as winding and unpredictable as the snow covered roads of West Virginia. From murder on a bleak mountaintop to intrigue at the highest levels of government, every detail of atmosphere and nuance of character pulls the reader ever deeper into this satisfying mystery.
