Many of my stories and novels, though not all, take place in River City. What is River City? It is a fictional version of Spokane, a city of about 250,000 people, located in Northeast Washington State. The Looking Glass River flows through the center of this middle-class town that lags about 5 years behind California in terms of trends.

A number of the novels focus on the police department and the officers within that department, whether currently or formerly. Same thing with many of the short stories. Other stories are set in River City and may have police officers on the periphery. Still others are just set in River City, but are crime-related fiction.

As you read the stories and the novels, you'll see a fair amount of character cross-over. A character may be a major character in one work and only on the periphery in another. You will see the different characters in different lights in this way, learn some of their secrets, their motivations and their struggles.

Please take some time to explore my site and read about the novels and short stories. Check back often, as I will update the site as new stories and novels are published.
