Author of the cult-followed “Cadillac” Holland Mysteries and long-term towboat cook. 20 year former resident of New Orleans (1991-2010), politically progressive. Dog lover but cat owner, thanks to wife of twenty years.
Ouch but healing nicely. Cyst against spinal cord cost me months of work of next book. Back at it and now hope for an early June release!

Health issues (something like carpal tunnel that needs looked at) are keeping me from my next novel so I revisited the covers of the first three in the series.

Good thing I write moody mysteries. Turns out inspiration is just outside your back door on a good day.

Back to the paying job for a month, will be cooking for nine guys on a towboat presently traveling the Ohio River. Will have 3 hrs. Daily to work on the eighth book in the Cadillac Holland Mystery series. Looking at an August publication, in time for the 20th anniversary of Katrina

Snowed in is the best excuse for writing there is. Time to escape to an imaginary warm place for a few days.

I have published seven novels in a New Orleans based detective series, but I am still paying my bills standing at a stove. As anyone in New Orleans can tell you, food is as much a part and character of any story as the hero.

Looking out my writer’s room window. It pays to look up.

The view from today’s writing room. It is always worthwhile to look up from your work. One more chapter under down, but closer to the opening than the breathtaking finale.

View from window of today’s writing room. The unheralded White Cliffs of Alton (Illinois).

There needs to be a truly horrible neighborhood in Hell for these vultures.

Cold night on the Illinois River. Good time to have an indoor job. Love what I do but weird to wake up every day with my office in a new place.
