Writing is something I find deeply rewarding. Not just the finished product, but the process of getting a story out of my head and onto the page (or screen). Most of my stories get their start on vacation, usually with my feet in the sand and a computer on my lap, a tradition that sparked the story behind Beach Combers.
Dance Noir, a novella, is my latest release, featuring a sharp-witted private eye in 1930s Sacramento. Now that it's finished, I can get back to work on Privateers of the Dauntless, a historical nautical adventure, and I have several other tales simmering on the back burner. Hopefully, another Nick Gazelle investigation is not too far behind.
For me, the writing is the goal and the reward; editing is the work; publishing makes it real; and if others enjoy the ride, well, that’s just icing on the cake.
