I’ve always been fascinated by old Hollywood — the movies, the stars, the studios, and especially the stories that happened when the cameras stopped rolling.

I’m a writer of mysteries and suspense with a particular fondness for classic movies, vintage television, and the glamorous, occasionally ridiculous world of show business. Give me a Hollywood backlot, a suspicious death, a forgotten television episode, or a story that makes me wonder, Wait… haven’t I seen this before? and I’m probably going to investigate.

My books have ranged from paranormal mysteries set in the darker corners of Los Angeles to stories inspired by the golden age of Hollywood. My novel 666 on the Sunset Strip combines 1970s Los Angeles, murder, the Sunset Strip, and a little something supernatural.

And there’s more Hollywood ahead.

I’m currently developing a new mystery series set in 1930s Hollywood, featuring Piper and Eddy Goodrow — a glamorous married couple, mystery writers, and reluctant sleuths who discover that writing about murder is considerably easier than dealing with the real thing.

When I’m not writing, I’m probably watching an old movie, rewatching a classic television series, or wondering how they managed to get away with that on television in 1974.

Some stories never really go out of style. They just get better with age.
