I am a native Californian and I married my high school sweetheart. We had fifty-five years together. She was my biggest fan and my sharpest critic. I loved her very much and miss more each day. The Jonas Watcher Series is dedicated to her. Why she put up with me is still my greatest mystery.

 

     I've always been an avid watcher of film noir, mysteries, and other detective crime fiction as well as science fiction and fantasy. I read quite a bit, which would probably surprise a number of my teachers. I would have been a better reader earlier if Dick and Jane were detectives, or at least, a wizard and witch.

 

    I am currently working on a series of detective mystery adventure novels circa 1930. The main character is a derelict who served in the great war with distinction. In the first novel, he is almost killed by being knocked into the San Francisco Bay with a large weighted bag. He goes on to inherit a private detective agency by happenstance.

​

    There are about ten or twelve novels in the series. I am working on next, number ?

 

     The rest is subject to change on my personal whim.
