My first book, Blindsided, revolves around the murder of a local professor who, as it turns out, happened to be peer reviewing research regarding a new “super potato” that purportedly was able to fend off all manner of blight, thus increasing the potential yields for the farmers in Maine. It might seem like an unusual…

It’s Been A Busy Week!
My thanks to all of you who were following along during my mini-countdown to the release of Outsider. I had a lot of fun coming up with the tiny snippets about the book and will do something similar I think when Pariah is close to arriving. (Incidentally, you can pre-order Pariah right now on Kindle…
