Welcome! I’m an award-winning author mostly known for the Doodlebugged Mysteries, but I’ve also had my work appear in such places as Realms of Fantasy, Bruce Coville’s Shapeshifter, The Arizona Republic, and American Forests. You can find a list of my books here, read my blog here, or learn more about me here.

News, news, news!

It’s been a while since I posted here and I have lots of news.

The most time-sensitive is that BED-BUGGED, the first Doodlebugged mystery is FREE through July 13th.

Even better, if you SUBSCRIBE TO MY NEWSLETTER, you can also get a free copy of OUT-SNIFFED, the second in the series. That offer expires July 24th, so if you’re interested, don’t delay. The links in this post are different than the one on the right sidebar, because this offer is time-limited.

Next, MIS-CHIPPED, the sixth Doodlebugged mystery will be out this summer.  I’ll be announcing the date here, but my newsletter subscribers will get the info first along with sneak previews of the cover, and a chance to get a free copy in exchange for an honest review. (Why yes, I am pushing my newsletter! 🙂 I’m excited about it because I have some interesting content lined up for subscribers.)

I have a YA fantasy, TREETALKER, scheduled to come out in the fall. More about that later.

Finally, I was delighted to discover this February that three of my works won the prestigious Maxwell Medallions from the Dog Writers Association of America (DWAA). The winners were “Balance Due,” a touching short story about second chances, Doodlewhacked, an ongoing memoir of raising the obedience-impaired Shadow, available on this website, and, also available here,  “Fly Away Home,” my farewell tribute to Shadow (the dog in the photo above.) I didn’t manage to go to the DWAA banquet this year, but I blogged about my super-cool trip in 2018, “Running with the Dogs in NYC.”

And that, as the saying goes, is all the news that’s fit to print.

Hope to see you here again soon!
