My Novel

My first novel is called Gossip Kills.  I think of it as a mystery/comedy/romance.  I’m inspired by vintage/golden age mysteries, though my book does not have a historical setting.  I don’t think there’s enough escapist literature out there nowadays that isn’t embarrassing- mediocre formula writing, often, and filled with graphic sex and violence, serial killers, profilers and forensics.  I don’t mean to judge.  I have no problem with this stuff existing or readers enjoying it.  I just happen to see a hole in the market where the kind of stuff I would like would be.  I’d like some escapist entertainment with a more interesting, artistic side, rooted in reality not fantasy.  I’m working on – nearing completion, I’d like to think – my second novel, Split Screen (another thriller/comedy/romance).
