I hope my stories ring true to life when you read them. They come from nearly 45 years of experience—and thousands of experiences—on crime scenes, in the office, in court,and everywhere else, working side-by-side with detectives, suspects, supervisors, forensic personnel, prosecutors, judges, and defense attorneys.

When I describe a scene, it doesn’t come from interviewing someone else who works in the field, and it’s not something I Googled. It’s something I did for most of my life. I have seen it, touched it, smelled it (that can be the worst part), and heard the sounds. In other words—I have lived it.

I want you to feel like you’re part of the team in the middle of an investigation when you read one of my stories. I want you to be thoroughly captivated and entertained at the same time. So go ahead, give me a read.
