My Writings

I love to write short stories. I started out writing science fiction, then began exploring other genres. I have published stories in mystery, fantasy, historical, literary and romance, but my real love is writing thrillers.

​

I also write a non-fiction series, Business Books for Writers  where I provide business information for writing entrepreneurs.
