Autorenporträt
I am an author and freelance journalist in London, Ontario, Canada. I write articles for magazines, newspapers, websites and a variety of interesting organizations. I also teach journalism in the Faculty of Information and Media Studies at Western University in London.
When I'm not writing or reading, I play as much tennis as possible. I also play drums.
Tangled Strings is a thriller about international tennis gambling and match fixing. Pressured by ruthless gamblers to throw matches, a group of aspiring tennis pros fight back, often with dire consequences.
My first novel, Pulling Strings, is a mystery/thriller about murder, politics, baseball and sex -- not necessarily in that order. The story starts with the murder of the popular owner of the Baltimore Orioles, which affects the 2016 presidential race, well underway in neighboring Washington D.C.
