"This is a story about passion, bloodshed, desire, and death: everything, in fact, that makes life worth living." --Irma la Douce

Game of Patience is now in paperback!

Medieval Underpants and Other Blunders is now available in PAPER as well as for multiple e-reader formats (including Kobo, Nook, Apple devices, Sony, and more) at Smashwords.com.

Welcome to my author website, home of murder, mayhem, & the French Revolution--better known as the Aristide Ravel mystery series and also A Far Better Rest, the reimagining of Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities.

Are you a member of a book club?

(By "book club" I mean, of course, a group of friends who meet regularly to discuss a particular book they've all read--not one of those annoying "get four books free now and put yourself in hock to us for the rest of your life" deals.)

Are you part of a neighborhood book club or writers' group in the USA, Canada, or UK? If so, would you and your group like to hold a live phone chat with an author?

Writers love talking about their work! (It probably comes from spending way too many hours alone at a keyboard.) I'd be delighted to visit on the phone with your group for an hour to answer your questions and/​or discuss my books, mystery fiction, historical fiction, writing, getting published, and so on. College-level writing or history classes are also welcome.

I'll be adding some brief discussion guides (no spoilers) to the book pages here. Discussion questions for The Cavalier of the Apocalypse are already posted. Please email me if you have suggestions for more topics, or suggestions for discussion on Game of Patience or A Treasury of Regrets--I'd be happy to get your input.

Contact me to set up a date and time for a chat--don't forget to remind me what time zone you're in--and tell me a little about your group. All you need at your end is a speakerphone; I'll pay for the call. I look forward to visiting with you!
