THE POWER OF STORIES • THE JOY OF CREATIVITY

Welcome!

Join me . . .

. . . in exploring the power of stories, the magic of creativity, and the joy of writing.
I fling words around as a writer, editor, and teacher of fiction writing classes in the San Francisco Bay Area. I write tales of love, ghosts, and murder, sometimes all three in one book. I also write about the art and craft of fiction writing, and I take pleasure in helping other authors achieve their writing goals.

New Short Story
"The Devil's-Work Ball" in Mystery Most Diabolical
I’m honored to be included in the latest anthology from the good folks at Malice Domestic. In this story: Leslie Gardner's fourth grade class loves her neighbor's talk about his family's cherished Chinese puzzle ball. But the presentation sets someone off on a path that leads to theft—and murder. You can find the book on Amazon, at Wildside Press (the publisher), or at your favorited independent bookstore.
