I'm being stalked by strange characters. One is a guy we suspect is a vampire but he's not quite out of the closet (Late Bite and Lycanthrope Rising). Another who denies he's the reincarnation of Sherlock Holmes is a world class chef and sommelier because he has the world's most sensitive sniffer. That gift also means he can smell murder.
Okay, this is supposed to be about me but I'm a pretty dull read in comparison. For longer than I care to remember, I earned my keep as a daily newspaper journalist and persuaded Judy to marry me because I had a steady income. We raised two incredible daughters who have long since graduated from university and are smart, powerful women who make the world a better place..
All that time in newspapers I was definitely more Clark Kent than Superman other than the occasional flight of imagination. Now those practiced fingers are now tapping out thriller stories and, surprise! people seem to like them.
I'm a fan of the Frederick Forsyth plot twist, an admirer of Lee Child's action scenes, and jealous of Seth Grahame-Smith's zany mashups – Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. I hope my readers see elements of these writers in what I've written - pulse pounding action, gut wrenching plot twists, and whacky mashed up characters and genres.
Judy and I live in Wortley Village, a quaint neighbourhood in London Ontario, far from vampires, shape-shifters and superheroes. Now that's personal.
