My story, “Fatal Return”, appears in this Sisters in Crime/Los Angeles anthology, published in December 2024,
The City of Angels has a dark side. Hidden beneath its shiny surface are misdeeds, miscreants, and murderers. From Santa Monica’s sandy beaches to Hollywood’s glitzy streets, from Boyle Heights to Holmby Hills to the dirt trails of the San Gabriel Mountains, there are so many tales to tell. So many people on the beat. The police detectives seeking justice. The reporters seeking truth. Writers who build beats into their movies and TV shows. And people who choose violence to beat others and come out on top. Angel City Beat is an anthology of stories that show life behind the plastic smiles of the rich and famous, the desperate pleas of the overlooked, and the promises of dreams forgotten. Angel City Beat is the beat of a city told by those who love her.

Thanks for stopping by. I’m a writer and avid reader. Books have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I read pretty much everything: fiction, non-fiction, mysteries, science fiction, historical fiction, biographies. I’ve even been known to voluntarily pick up a textbook or two. But mysteries are my passion. Here you can find out about me or my books and short stories.
