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)

that icky feeling

Mim grew up in a small town. Having been very sheltered most of her life, she did not know how to respond to those who would diminish her. A different person would have had a smart and demeaning comeback to derisive comments, but Mim had not learned yet how to do that and she had been taught to turn the other cheek. There's a lot to learn about life when you have been protected. lt can take a lot of bruising, scrapes and falls, but a strong person always gets back up.

Book Excerpt

Topsail Island Tango

The dance was over. As she rose, her eyes scanned the audience and the perplexed looks on the faces of the people whom she’d known since childhood. Feeling small and somewhat humiliated, Mim turned toward the door but found Anthony’s hand holding hers, stopping her from moving. Slowly, applause grew to fill the room and Mim smiled as she and her new beau stepped toward their seats.

Nervously fiddling with the pearl buttons of her white gloves, Mim heard a male voice call out, “Wow! Little Miss Mim." The man’s eyes scanned her body quickly as he moved toward the couple. “I didn’t know you knew how to do all that fancy dancing.” His lascivious glare unsettled her as she watched the hand of Phil Mattus pat Anthony’s back. She half smiled, acknowledging the cock-eyed toothy grin of a man she had always felt uncomfortable around, and then she saw him wink at Anthony.
