I worked for many years as a journalist in the U.S. and Asia, covering everything from economics to crime; politics to art, rock music to sex. I once wrote an advice to the lovelorn column in a bilingual Chinese-English fashion magazine based in Hong Kong. I currently live in Los Angeles, where I was born, and which is the most culturally and ethnically diverse place I've ever been.
My most recent book is SHANGHAIED, the fourth book in the Ray Sharp series of detective thrillers set in Asia and based on true stories. The previous books in the series are, going back from book three to one, FLIGHT OF THE HORNBILL, GRAVE IMPORTS and THE LIVING ROOM OF THE DEAD. I also wrote WRONG SIDE OF THE WALL, a true crime / sports biography.
