Beginning my writing career in the sports department of the LA Daily News when only mainframe computers were in use, and then continuing to write for other daily and weekly newspapers as well as monthly magazines, I honed my journalistic skills covering everything from high school football to NHRA drag racing to sky surfing, to wild boar hunting. Giving up real life drama for fiction, I now create characters that everyone will either relate to and /or loathe with a passion. An enthusiastic target shooter, I parlay my knowledge of, and respect for firearms in all of my novels, of which Persona Non Grata is my third.
