My grandmother introduced me to crime mysteries by giving me a Sherlock Holmes novel when I was ten---I've been hooked ever since! Maybe that's what led me into 30+ years working as both a prosecutor and Public Defender. I have tried jury trials from misdemeanors to murders and have seen crime from every possible angle. Six of my books have been published along with a collection of short stories. I have three different series: a female prosecutor, Zehra Henning, a private criminal defense lawyer, Ted Rohrbacher, and an investigator for the U.S. Export/Import bank, Pete Chandler---who travels to crime scenes in many exotic locations around the world. I also play the saxophone in a jazz group and a rock band. Married for for 30+ years, I also have two adult children.
