UPDATE:
Hello and Welcome to my website. Thank you for joining me.
Where I've been & where I'm going:
Wednesday, October 28, 2020
Last month I gave a presentation on writing mystery stories at OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute) at UNC-W.
What a great experience - first time leading a Zoom meeting. I hope everyone enjoyed the presentation. I enjoyed giving it.
I have been on what some call a sabatical as far as finishing the two books that I have been working on for some time now ("Blood Moon Murders" and "The Umbrella"). I call it just plain lazy; but I do plan to finish them by the spring of next year.
Now to Where I will be:
I can sum this up in one word...HOME; at least for now, until this Corona Virus is still very active. NC is in a lot better shape than many other states as far as numbers of cases, etc.
______________________
I hope to get back to the bookstores in New York State that promote my books sometime in the near future (possibly next spring). I will be visiting the stores in North Carolina.
-------
Copies of all of my books are available at the following locations:
Two Sisters Bookery - Wilmington, NC
Island Books - Carolina Beach, NC
Dog Ears Bookstore - South Buffalo, NY
Rust Belt Books - Buffalo, NY
The Bookworm - East Aurora, NY
Off the Beaten Path - Lakewood, NY
The Book Shoppe - Medina, NY
-------
"Blood Moon Murders", the fourth book in the Hap Pozner series & "The Umbrella" (from my short story of the same name), should be released in the fall (2021).

I am also, planning on getting back to the musical that I started and shopping out the two plays to local theater groups ("Husbands-in-Law" and Larry Stromberg's "Life Behind the Razorwire").

An Update on my puppy, Finn.
Finn is my Border Terrier; now just over one year old and already has found his place in our hearts and family. He and Missy (my wife's six year old Havanese) act like brother and sister. Finn, not unlike Missy (and Bravo before him) has trained himself. Except for a few puppy antics he is a very happy, friendly dog.
We have so much to learn from dogs...they live in the moment. When we are able to do that we are at peace.
What You'll Find:
ENJOY!
I am available to join you at your writing group meeting, book club or literary council meeting, or come to your local bookstore to read selections from my book or just sign copies and chat.
