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)

One of my favorite characters is Hank. Yep, he's a bad guy and bad guys are fun to write, but there's more to Hank than that. He is complicated, living on the edge and so very hurt by what life has dealt him. In some ways I feel sorry for him, but not sorry enough to let him wear the white hat.

Book Excerpt

Bridge Tender

Hank leaned back in the captain’s chair, propping his legs high on the railing of the small docking pier. He ran a finger beneath the hem of his white shorts; they looked florescent against the tanned brown skin of his leg.

Biting into his bottom lip, penitent thoughts filled his head—summoned, they seemed, from some dark recess.

How long had it been now? he studied the marsh; the setting sun muting the colors of the cattails and coarse grasses zigzagging with the sloughs and little creeks bordering its edge.

His eyes lazily followed the line of land southward to a sloop traveling slowly through the water, its sail tinted red in the evening light.
