About the author

The dark side of my life becomes fiction on paper (or virtual paper, as the case may be). I borrow from real life events, but of course it's just fiction. There should not be any real life names associated with my writing. I will likely write more thrillers that might remind you of things, but again, I assure you, it's all just fiction.
