about me
I come from a family steeped in railroad tradition and grew up during the twilight of steam power listening to tales from my father, brother and uncle, all lifelong employees of the B&O Railroad. As such, railroads play a prominent role in many of my novels.
After high school came the US Army, serving two tours of duty in Germany. Upon discharge, I joined the Baltimore City Police Department and was assigned to the Southern District, an area which occasionally appears in my writings.
When not writing, I can be found in the family garage tinkering with my 1928 Ford Model A.
favourite books
Anything from Agatha Christie or Dorothy Saylers. I also like the early Martha Grimes mysteries. Currently reading M C Beaton's Hamish Macbeth and Anne Perry's Inspector Pitt novels
