I'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 Grad school re-kindled the interest and I wrote five unpublished novels in the 1970s.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.
