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)

When I was writing THE MERMAID DID IT there was no Covid. Life was normal, at times a little boring. But the last year or so has seemed upside down or just wrong-like we are living in Bizarro World.. We've been shaken up and getting back to normal, even if it is mundane, would be so very wonderful. Perhaps sometimes we don't appreciate what we have.

Book Excerpt

The Mermaid Did It

Since returning from Florida and the wedding things had returned to a casual, relaxed and familiar track —it was nice.

No dead bodies had turned up anywhere. And the most unpleasant events on the island came from those who either drank too much or drove too fast.

The occasional arrests for shoplifting, family disputes, and fishing without a license were part of the familiar pace of the island and as welcoming as summer itself.
