My 'job' is to write crime fiction. So if you see me while I'm traveling the world, I'm likely thinking of ways to add more bodies to my stories.

Spending the day going deep on ATF & FBI procedures. I'm a combination of around and amazed by the work they do. Incredible people doing cool and important work. #thrillerfest #fbiday

Proud to see that my first article for The Big Thrill is live. And I was lucky enough to read a compelling thriller and interact with the incredible author, Allison Buccola. Add THE ASCENT to your summer reading list. www.thebigthrill.org/2025/05/can-...

The 24 Hours of Lemons is an endurance race with a twist: The cars cost less than $500, and costumes are unlimited. A recent race saw a Toyota Yaris painted like a snail, and a team dressed as bees.

Canadians will vote tomorrow in the most emotional election since 1988. I have my own preference. But I note: no one doubts that the vote will be free and fair - or that the loser will peacefully accept the voters' decision. That may not sound much. It's more than others have.

For those of you who think that crime fiction conferences are fun for all involved, I can attest to the fact that they are. Consider joining us in San Francisco in 2026. leftcoastcrime.org/2026/ #writingcommunity #LeftCoastCrime2025 #crimefiction

Thanks to my fellow Left Coast Crime panelists (Janet Dawson, Dwight Holing, Jenny Dandy) for making the session on Creating Believable Characters entertaining. And possibly even informative. Missing from the photo is Terry Shepherd, our moderator. Mostly because he was moving around so much. 😆
