About Me

My first novel, Cracking the Ice, was praised by Booklist as “a gripping account of a courageous young man rising above evil.” I’ve since published eight additional novels, including Offside, which has been adopted for high school student required reading.

My short fiction has appeared in Best American Mystery Stories, Best of Thrill Ride the Magazine, Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine, and as a regular contributor to Thrill Ride, Pulphouse, Mystery, Crime, and Mayhem, Heart’s Kiss, Fiction River, and other anthologies. I coedit with Annie Reed the quarterly anthology Romance for All Seasons.

I’m a multi-finalist for the Derringer Award; my story “Death in the Serengeti” was honored with the 2018 Derringer Award for Best Long Story. I’ve released ten short story collections.

I’ve published over fifteen hundred works of nonfiction, most notably my first book for writers, How to Get Your Book into Schools and Double Your Income with Volume Sales, and also Travis Roy: Quadriplegia and a Life of Purpose as well as Hendu’s Story: From Dream to Reality. I’ve been honored with the Joe Concannon Hockey East Media Award and the Murray Kramer Scarlet Quill Award.
