I moved to Los Angeles to study screenwriting at USC, and even though you couldn't drag me back into the screenwriting business with the promise of money or candy, I love screenplay structure. Use it all the time. It is the crowbar that removes my head from my rectum when such a procedure is required.I love all types of speculative fiction, and yes I admit to reading vampire books and YA. However, I have not yet met a vampire that inspired me enough to write about him, which is probably the only barrier between myself and a bathtub full of royalty checks. People (meaning, my friends) have begged me for years to write about the fashion industry, so I'm doing that in the form of a cozy mystery. It's a funny story, which it had to be because the fashion industry can't be taken seriously.On that, I bid you a fond farewell. Thanks for reading this little bio.

I am a man's man with a confession. I actually watch, and enjoy, Project Runway. As a result, I am familiar with just about all the fashionista references in the story.The story was fairly well developed and the characters were interesting to a point. I enjoyed the story and would have rated it ...
A garment show in a week, late hours, working on the weekends, and then a dead body shows up. Oh no…..a very unwelcome setback. Jeremy was the one who was standing over Gracie when Laura walked into the office that Sunday morning. Could he have killed her or just found her on the floor with a s...
Excellent novel, the story is well-crafted and the information on fashion are insightful. This kind of novel is not my usual fare and I found myself sometimes thinking that the MC was disdainful to people who were not as knowing about fashion as she was, but that is a minor quibble. I found some min...
