It was the best assignment I ever had.

I vividly remember my very first call as a Real Detective. ...What could possibly go wrong?

As a retired cop, I have a lot of experience to pull from for my novels.

When I wrote the second book in the Mike O’Shea Crime Fiction series, I asked some people to read it, one of whom was my mother.

Over my career as a cop, there have been a number of unusual moments, but very few of them involved a horse.

We read crime fiction (or any fiction, for that matter) mostly because it is--fiction. We also kind of wonder how much of this could be true.
