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 Brisseden; the other featuring former Canada Revenue Agency tax auditor, Alex Bellamy.

I’ve also published more than fifty short stories over the years. Some of the pieces are mystery, but I’ve also written mainstream, humorous, and even a little horror now and then.

Most of the photos bordering this site are scenes of Port Moody, B.C. where I've lived for the past twenty years. Port Moody has a population of a little less than 25,000 people. It's hilly, green, and beautiful. I've also included some of the flowers in our garden. The collection's pretty sparse because I'm not much of a gardener, but I hope to do better one day.

Assuming that you’re as busy as I am with family, jobs, volunteering, and occasional bouts of housecleaning, I’ve kept this site short and simple, I hope. Enjoy.
