Hi, and welcome to my website!

I'm excited about the upcoming release of my first mystery. Sweet Man Is Gone is a funny, funky look at the inner workings of a blues band. It features sexy blonde bandleader-sleuth Maxx Maxwell (real name: Elizabeth). It's due from Five Star in July and is available for preorder now from Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Check out "Advance Praise" for some of the nice things people have been saying about the book and my sleuth.

And click here for "My Life As a Rock Star." It describes how a mild-mannered English professor (me) bought an electric guitar - a red Stratocaster - in mid-life, signed up for guitar lessons, and formed the band that inspired Sweet Man Is Gone.

My story, "Family Matters," features another of my female sleuths: Hoboken-based private investigator Davis McQueen. It appears in Murder New York Style from L&L Dreamspell - along with twenty other great stories set in the New York/TriState area.

Stay tuned . . . my website is expanding day by day. There's much more to come, including The Blues Room and some very cool links.
