In 2008 my debut novel HUNTING THE KING was published to great reviews. I had been writing for many years and so was thrilled by finally seeing my work in print. In the five years since that debut, I have written six more novels and a screenplay. I have three wonderful kids.William and Stephen are identical twins age fourteen. Leah is my sixteen-year-old high school junior. It is for her that I turned to writing young adult novels for the last three efforts. THE HUNTED came out in April and in August 2013 DEVOLUTION is being published by Imajin Books. I am also working with my French agent Anne Confuron to get into the European market. I am originally from Portland, Maine and went to college at Bowdoin,came down to Boston upon graduation and drifted into social services work. I have been involved with local politics, particularly on housing issues and currently work for a non-profit in Lowell, Ma. trying to help people who are facing eviction or utility shut-off. To relax, being a loyal New Englander, I enjoy the Red Sox, Patriots and other local sports teams. I am looking for a political candidate to believe in (good luck there)and write not only to entertain but to communicate ideas. I hope to provoke.
