I’m a retired FBI agent and lawyer. Now I write – novels mostly, but I’ve written a lot of non-fiction, too, including this blog.  I live in Silicon Valley and that’s where the settings of my novels are. They say to write about what you know, so I have. My mysteries are fiction, but just barely. Several are inspired by real cases I worked in the FBI.

I have eclectic interests: writing, cryptography, guitar, geocaching, running, electric vehicles, puzzles, law. I’ve written about all of them. I am not a member of any political party or religious denomination.
