Author Biography

Thallasophile - lover of the ocean. That's me. I have a strong affinity for that entity and express those feelings through my writing--my books. They may span many genres but are all connected to the place I call home. Genres published: historical fiction, literary, murder, essays--they all are set on Topsail Island where I grew up. It is my way of perserving this wonderful place and the people with whom I share my life. The first book in the Murder by the Sea series is WATERLOGGED. Don Belkin is a former Marine, now a detective with the Surf City Police Dept. He's a conflicted man, to say the least, as he struggles to accept his past and find solace in the small beach town. Bitterness runs deep between the locals who have populated the area for generations and the "new" folks who think they've found paradise. Oh, Topsail Island may be the perfect tourist attraction, but in the summer it's just plain MURDER. (there are 5 more books in the series)

Book Excerpt

Bridge Tender

It doesn’t seem that long ago—time didn’t seem to have any meaning anymore. Hank envisioned his wife’s lips forming a smile; the image coaxed one from his own.

There she stood, her long frame leaning against the bowsprit of his sloop. Emma was so beautiful against the red of the sky, her sandy colored hair blowing wildly about her face.

That face—the sun always brought out the freckles on Emma’s face. And though she always scoffed about the sepia specks, Hank saw them as little badges of beauty. Each one made her more unique.

A heavy breath flowed steadily from his lips as he closed his eyes, recalling his deceased wife and the argument on the way out to sea, only a couple of miles past Topsail Inlet.
