Welcome! I’m an award-winning author whose works have appeared in such diverse places as Realms of Fantasy, Bruce Coville’s Shapeshifter, The Arizona Republic, and American Forests.

This is where I wax eloquent about such things as the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, writing, gardening, and books. And dogs. The dogs, both fictional and real, naturally have free run of the place.

So, pull up a chair. Read my blog. See what I’ve published. Look at a few photos. Or, better yet, read an excerpt from this month’s featured work, Bed-Bugged, a book for dog lovers young and old. Mystery writer Sara Hoskinson Frommer calls “a romp of a mystery.”

Bed bugs, burglars, and a missing mother. For Doodle, it’s just part of a day’s work.

Ask Doodle why he flunked out of service-dog school and he’ll tell you: smart and obedient don’t always go hand in hand. Now he has a new job finding bed bugs for Josh Hunter Bed Bug Detection. But when Molly, the boss’s ten-year old daughter, enlists Doodle to help find her mother, Doodle’s nose and Molly’s camera lead them straight to danger.
