About the Author

I have been active in journalism for many years, most recently as a reporter for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. I’ve also written for the New York Times, the StarTribune, Twin Cities Magazine, Corporate Report Minnesota, Mpls.St.Paul Magazine and CityBusiness. I've written two nonfiction books, now out of print.

     I started writing fiction in 2002. My first book, "Lost in January" is a mystery about Skeeter Hughes, a reporter in suburban Minneapolis who sets off in search of a missing teenaged girl.  

 The tale involves a prostitution ring run out of the Mall of America, a meth lab  explosion and a very real car fire bombing.  I'm well into a second book, "Frozen in February."

  In November I returned to journalism as a contributor to MinnPost.com, a not-for-profit news website operated by experienced, premier writers and editors from the Twin Cities.
