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)

idealized reality

I know of what E.J. speaks. I hate cell phones too. I'm not real fond of technology, so when I write the character E.J., I know exactly how she feels. She's fairly easy to write. But what about those characters whose lives I am not familiar with? Do I just make it up as I go or do I explore other options? Research, research, research. A writer does lots of research. Some use idealized reality-they take a stab at what they think should happen. no, writing is not easy, it's fulfilling, but not easy.

Book Excerpt

Bridge Tender

E.J. didn’t like cell phones, but hers had become a necessity. Traveling to the Outer Banks and then down to Kure Beach and Wilmington as often as she’d been doing in the last few years had made the phone a vital part of her existence.

There always seemed to be a double-edged sword quality to all things; she enjoyed the travels, but hated the technology required. She loved meeting the people who vacationed from all over the country, but hated sitting in the hot summer sun. It seemed everything was a compromise.
