| Introduction | I was born and raised in western Montana and have worked as a janitor, a dry cleaner, an auto parts salesman, a sawyer, an ambulance driver and a college professor. While working as an historian, I wrote one non-fiction book and a number of magazine and journal articles. But I always loved reading crime fiction and so decided to take a crack at writing a suspense novel. The result was NO PLACE TO DIE, which was published by Dorchester in August, 2010. The main protagonist is a Phoenix homicide detective named Sean Richardson. The second Sean Richardson book, UNTIL DEATH, is forthcoming. |
