Thanks for stopping by! It gets lonely around here with just a fedora, a typewriter and a bottle of bourbon ...
NOX DORMIENDA, my debut novel, won the Bruce Alexander Memorial Historical Mystery Award, and has been nominated for a Macavity Award. A Writer's Digest Notable Debut (July/August 2008), it marks the first of a new series and new genre: Roman Noir. Set in first century AD Britain and featuring Arcturus, a hard-boiled protagonist in the best Marlowe tradition, NOX is a new kind of historical mystery, a suspense thriller that combines a classic noir style with the rich texture of the ancient past.
CITY OF DRAGONS--an explosively dark novel set in 1940 San Francisco, and introducing ex-escort and PI Miranda Corbie--will be published by Thomas Dunne/St. Martin's Minotaur in February, 2010. A small-time Japanese gangster is murdered in Chinatown ... and no one wants to know why. Miranda defiantly pursues the truth, uncovering searing racial hatreds and a legacy of pain and exploitation.
I'm also the ITW news editor and a member of the ITW Debut Author program.
