Thanks for taking the time to visit my website. I hope you'll enjoy what these pages offer.

I'm the author of the Squeaky Clean Mystery Series, which includes Hazardous Duty and Suspicious Minds. The series follows the life of Gabby St. Claire, a crime-scene cleaner who likes to stick her nose into police business. If books that are a cross between CSI and Monk/Psych interest you, check out the Squeaky Clean Series! Also, Hazardous Duty was a finalist in the 2007 American Christian Writers Book of the Year competition. For more information on those novels, visit my books page.

I'm also a freelance writer whose byline has appeared on over 200 articles in various magazines and newspapers.

If you're a member of the media and you're looking for downloadable headshots or biographical information, visit the Resume page.
