Hello and Welcome to my website. Thank you for joining me.

I'm backkkkk...
It has been one hell of a year...for everyone. Many have suffered greatly from the pandemic. Many lost loved ones, many with financial hardships because of it. And many just getting on each others nerves, being quarantened together for so long.
It's time to live again.
I recently got back from a short trip to Western Pennsylvania and Western and Central New York where I visited bookstores that carry my books.
It was great to see them alive and well, and very busy.
This past several years I have been working on two books: "The Umbrella", which was taken from the short story of the same name that I published in my collection; and the second, "Blood Moon Murders", the fourth novel in the Hap Pozner series.
I want to thank all of you who have been checking in on this website and I will try to be more vigilant in my adding new material. Shortly I will have an excerpt from one of the two new books that will be out later this year, with an excerpt from the other.
I will also have a link to preorder each of these books at a special price. They will be available as personalized signed copies.

Last September 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.

I have been working on plans to make one or more of my books into audio books. If you would like to see a certain one as an audio book, please write to me and let me know. I haven't quite decided on which one to do.

"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 spring (2022).

Next year I am 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, my Border Terrier just turned two years old. He and Missy (my wife's seven year old Havanese) act like brother and sister; well sometimes. 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.
