Guess Who!

Hi! This is what I look like when I’m not writing, which means I never look like this.

But clicking on my image will get you to Amazon where you’ll have fun buying all my books.
No, really, you will.
I’m a fiction author. Would I lie?

I've decided to spend the rest of my life writing things I'd enjoy reading. Who knows? You might enjoy them, too.

He's so opinionated!

The Anatomy of Motive: The FBI's Legendary Mindhunter Explores the Key to Understanding and Catching Violent Criminals

The Anatomy of Motive: The FBI’s Legendary Mindhunter Explores the Key to Understanding and Catching Violent Criminals

by John E. Douglas

I read this book because I worked in parallel fields for many years and also for research into some current writing projects. Anatomy of Motive is a good read, informative without going into horrific detail. A good source book.

Every Love Story Is a Ghost Story: A Life of David Foster Wallace

Every Love Story Is a Ghost Story: A Life of David Foster Wallace

No Is Not Enough: Resisting Trump’s Shock Politics and Winning the World We Need

really liked it

Where are the actionable solutions? Where are step by step plans…
