I am a Yankee writer living in Dixie. I write essays, poetry, and fiction. I also am the author of the Cadogan Cain Mystery series. Besides writing I enjoy reading, photography, and good conversation over food and a variety of spirits. I was born and raised in Niagara Falls, New York, have lived in Germany and Korea, but now reside in Fayetteville, North Carolina with my lovely wife Nancy and our crazy dog Nikki.
