“When I was growing up, all I ever wanted to be was either a Soldier, policeman, or priest. I wanted to make a positive and lasting difference in those around me. For me, I didn’t want to sleepwalk through my day, week, year, or life, oblivious to what was going on around me. I wanted all my endeavors to have meaning.” Through God’s perfect plan, He has provided me a great life—a self-proclaimed Renaissance man, military, consultant, and author. I was born and raised in the suburbs of Detroit. After graduating from college, I entered the U. S. Army as an Infantry soldier and officer. A veteran with over 22 years of service, I continued my support to the military as a consultant. I now spend my time writing mysteries novels and contemporary short stories, consulting, and spiritual mentor.
How others have described my writing. “M. J. captures the essence of historical fiction. His stories offer a detailed authenticity to time and place, social norms, and current events. Then he weaves a story about characters that we come to love and want to befriend along with a captivating “who done it “ crime that we are anxious to solve. M. J.’s books are difficult to put down … I am anxious for the next adventure he will take us on.” “Disturbingly intriguing.” I describe my stories as very intense, adult themes, accurate fictional accounts of real unsolved murders.
When I’m not doing all of that. I enjoy spending time with my family, praying and meditating, reading, and watching mysteries, especially BBC productions. I also have an active lifestyle; walking, hiking, and most days putting around the house and trying to complete his lovely bride’s latest “honey-do list.” You can also find my work and commentary at these locations.
