Background
Information
|
|
I was born and raised in Ventura, California, the home of Earl Stanley Gardner. I loved Perry Mason and some critics have said my legal mysteries reflect that influence. Steven King is my favorite author. I also read Scottalini, Grisham, Patterson, Sheldon and Koontz among others. Of course, everybody loves Harry Potter.
After writing ten mysteries, I've strayed into the fantasy/sci fi genre. It's much different and more challenging for me, but I'm having lots of fun and more success than I expected. Act Normal was featured in a Library Journal article last year called Hot Crime Trends by Jo Ann Vicarel along with the hugely popular, Charlane Harris. Just to be mentioned in the same sentence with such a fine author is exhilerating to say the least. Just recently I actually sat next to Charlane Harris at a book signing in Mobile Alabama and she was kind enough to ask for a copy of my latest work, Tarizon.
I just found out that next month Tarizon: The Liberator will be featured in a ForeWord Magazine article about new novels for young adult readers. I've posted an advance copy of the article for anyone interested in seeing it.

My signing af few years back at Little Professor books in Aberdeen, South Dakota was the 48th state in which I've promoted my novels since 1997. Since then I've participated in over 600 events in 225+ cities across the nation promoting the eight Stan Turner Mysteries, three suspense novels and one non-fiction.

My latest novel,Tarizon: The Liberator, has just now been released. It's my first venture into straight science fiction and was quite challenging. Luckily one of my children, Michael, is a good writer and a science fiction addict, so I had him edit the first draft of Tarizon and he provided me with an excellent critique and helped me avoid making any fatal mistakes.
