edit data

If you can't be at the beach, the next best experience is writing (or reading) about it.

I started out writing crime novels around the time I became a criminal attorney. Then wrote a romance (perhaps as an emotional antidote) after taking on divorce cases. A humorous mystery, set in Ocean City, Maryland where I spent summers as a kid and later got married, has popped up now and again.

So not all of my books are the same. Crossing genres is great fun--almost as much as riding waves.

One Dead Judge

If you loved Ocean City, Maryland in the 1990’s, have we got a book for you.

In the early 1990’s, Ocean City was a much different (and to some, much better) place than today. One Dead Judge is a fun way to experience that lost decade in the form of a lighthearted mystery with equal doses of laughter and nostalgia.

Here’s the real mystery… Here’s the real mystery: how does obvious, banal stuff like this get published? You can see the “twist” by page two.
