What I write

I love a good mystery, and I’m intrigued by all ancient technologies: astrology, numerology, cartomancy. So, I blend my two passions to create densely plotted mysteries that all feature adventures in the metaphysical.

I’ve always been a sucker for a good story...

All the experts say that my “About” page should include my 100 – 300 word professional bio, written in third person. Here goes:
