Welcome. You've either stumbled or deliberately delved into the website of a Pacific Northwest writer who's spent most of her adult life studying crime and criminal behaviour.

For more years than I want to admit, I've been working on two separate amateur sleuth mysteries, one featuring public transit security cop Casey Holland; the other featuring former Canada Revenue Agency tax auditor, Alex Bellamy.

I've also published more than one hundred short stories, personal essays, and articles over the years. Some of the pieces are mystery, but I've also written mainstream, humorous, and even a little horror now and then.

I'm a mom, wife, volunteer, employee, avid reader, and Canucks hockey fan. As someone who studied classical ballet for eight years, I'm still a fan of all kinds of dance.

Assuming that you're as busy as I am with many responsibilities, I've kept this site short and simple. Enjoy!

BIG NEWS!

My 3rd Casey Holland mystery, BENEATH THE BLEAK NEW MOON has now been released! 17th.  You can find more info on my Casey Holland Mysteries page. Take a wild ride with Casey, as she delves into the dangerous and deadly world of street racing.
