Mystery Notes
“. . . one of the most interesting characters in crime fiction.”
So says the St. Paul Pioneer Press about my character, Pen Wilkinson, in its review of Windfall in its September 6th Fall Arts Guide. It’s a great way to kick off this fall’s launch of Windfall. Read about it here.
Thanks!
A big thanks to everyone who attended my launch party for Windfall at Once Upon a Crime on October 3rd, as well as my “unofficial” launch at Lake Country Booksellers. It was great to see everybody, and a nice way to kick off my fall and winter appearances.

10 Questions
What is your background?
I’m a suburban dad who loves to write. After a number of years as an attorney in the corporate world, I wrote two mystery-thrillers, Bound to Die, and Poised to Kill, in 2002 and 2004, respectively. Both were very well received, and writing and promoting the books was a great experience. But I had to put writing aside to deal with family responsibilities and health issues. Now, I’m thrilled to resume my writing, and I believe Downfall is my best work yet.
