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)

Author Insight

uh oh

Developing a character like Estelle was at times difficult. Trying to show how her mind worked and what the impetuses were for her actions, led me, as a writer, down rabbit holes. Thankfully I have go-to people, like cops and psychologists to help out in these areas. I'm always learning something.

Book Excerpt

The Mermaid Did It

Estelle lost herself in Keisha’s mythology books, reading about Zeus and Poseidon, Hera, Athena and the other Greek gods of Mt. Olympus. But it was Amphitrite with whom she identified. It was the ocean goddess who captured her imagination. It was remarkable that they shared the same destiny—being shirked, forgotten, used by men who usurped their power.

Estelle saw herself as Amphitrite reborn, strong, capable, a woman beyond other mere mortals, who had relinquished her powers once, Estelle swore she would never allow that again.
