I am a Masters Level Community Psychologist and CASAC in New York State.  I have been working in the drug and alcohol and mental health field in the Capital District of New York State, for well over 18 years.  The human mind can be a very, dark, dark place for some.

"The San Pedro Stiletto Predator" is my first serious attempt at a fictional novel.  As the reader is allowed to peer into the mind of an ex-police officer and homicidal fetishist, Hans Freiger, who first started his homicidal blood reign while he was still an active duty police officer with the Rostock German Polizei, working for the Crime Victims Sexual Assault Unit in that country.  

He continues his fetishistic rampage on the unsuspecting female population of San Pedro, California and takes the FBI, Interpol, and the San Pedro Police Department on a globe trotting, fingernail biting, roller coaster ride of sexual deviance, perversion and homicide.

I have been influenced by many writers in my early writing career, namely, Stephen Vincent Benet, Edgar Allen Poe, and Stephen King, to name a few.  The book has been temporarily removed from publication, because I was not happy with the finished product.  I have enlisted the aide of an editor to help me get this book to where I want it to be.  It will never be available again on Amazon.com, it is going to be rewritten and republished in a soft cover book version, only.  Hopefully, the revisions will be completed by the end of 2016, and ready for republication in the Fall of 2016.  Thank you all for your continued literary support.
