About me

Introduction I am a professional writer living in Portland, Oregon. I earn my keep writing a wide range of corporate materials. I also write fiction, primarily crime fiction. My work has appeared in several magazines and anthologies. I no longer regularly update this blog, but for many years, I wrote here about fiction and film -- mostly centered on crime, but also war. (I've given up on war reading for the most part.) I am a lapsed member of the National Book Critics Circle and an active member of the Mystery Writers of America. I am a former academic, once gave a lift to a soon-to-be Nobel Prize-winning author, and have met a couple astronauts. Some time ago, I received my Ph.D. in English from Yale University.
