For almost thirty years, I worked the back alleys, poorly-lit lane-ways, and forgotten neighbourhoods in the city where I grew up. Murder often most unkind, assaults on a level that defied humanity, and sexual violations intended to demean, shame, and haunt the victims were all in a day's work. Days, evenings, midnights--all the same. Crime knows no time.

Exhilarating. Exhausting. Often heartbreaking. 

Whether as a beat cop or a plainclothes detective, I dealt with good people who did bad things and bad people who followed their instincts. I wrote thousands of reports describing their lives, the places they lived, and the things they did. I investigated their crimes and wrote detailed accounts of the activities that brought us together. I also held victims as they wept, talked desperate people off of ledges, and sat beside the decomposing bodies of men and women who, in life, had been discarded and long-forgotten by society. 

Now, as a retired detective with three decades of research opportunities under my belt, I write crime fiction. 

I can tell you a story like no other. I will bring you inside a world that will both fascinate and entertain you. I seamlessly weave truth and fiction together for you to create a place where the Good Guys ultimately win. 

Right now, I'm working on the Mike O'Shea series. I think you'll love it. Let me know what you think. Check out my website and sign up to my newsletter!
