Works in progress:
A series of crime novels featuring Kevin Markinson, the main character
in "Life's a Beach," "From a Distance," "Blackbird," "Murder by
Committee," "Coming Home," "Exile" and "Fade Away."
"Stress Fractures," "Frostbite," and
"Lead Poisoning"
are the first three novels in the series. I am currently seeking
agency representation. "Lead Poisoning" is out on the query go
round at the moment. Three agents looking at the full, four
looking at partials.
