IntroductionI'm a former English teacher, actor, director, and still terrible guitarist. I think I wrote my first mystery, heavily based on the Hardy Boys, when I was about ten and wrote off and on for several years. Grad school re-kindled the interest and I wrote five unpublished novels in the 1970s. Then I drifted into theater for several years and only started writing again when our group lost its performance space the same week I retired from teaching. I took it as a sign, for better or for worse. So here I am.
InterestsAcoustic guitar (folk, blues, rock, country), theater (former actor & director), reading, writing fiction
Favorite moviesHigh Noon, Dr. Strangelove, Bull Durham, Raising Arizona, The January Man, Charade (the original with Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn), Rear Window...
Favorite musicI got my driver's license months before the Beatles appeared on Ed Sullivan, so the British Invasion was my high school sound track. I also love old blues and later sixties and Americana.
Favorite booksThe Great Gatsby, Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, Bleak House, Lord Jim, To Kill A Mockingbird, Dandelion Wine, The Brothers Karamazov, The Magic Mountain, Storming Heaven, Mystic River, All The King's Men, California Fire & Life
