   Murder, Madness & Love                                   

  a mystery

Although raised in Pennsylvania, I chose to follow my adventurous spirit, which led me to Alaska. I first spent time in Fairbanks working for Pioneer Alaska Express, but was soon working in a field camp in the Brooks Range. 

I worked as an Assistant Field Engineer. I had an opportunity to explore and hike the mountains before the appearance of grizzlies made that impossible. I've traveled the state of Alaska and have seen many of its wonders. From Valdez to Prudhoe Bay, I've had an experience that I will always treasure. 

Always important I did get a great education--I have a BS in Business Administration from West Liberty University and a MA in Organizational Leadership from Chapman University. I now reside in Pennsylvania.

 I am currently working on the next two novels in the Detective Quaid series: #2 Memories of Murder:Visions of Madness, and #3 An Obsession to Possess. Check the menu items for more information. My novels are set in Alaska, because to me it will always be the most beautiful and exciting place on earth. Alaska is the only place I have ever felt at home, and to relieve my homesickness — the only cure is a visit if not a permanent move.
