Biography

Like my fictional protagonist, Joth Proctor, I was born and raised in northeastern Massachusetts. After graduating from the University of Virginia with a BA in English, I worked for two years as a private detective. My cases included criminal defense, divorce, insurance defense and locating skips. Thereafter, I attended law school at William & Mary. Since graduation I have practiced law in northern Virginia, where my novels take place. My experiences as a detective and a trial lawyer have provided some of the raw material I used in developing my stories and the characters that populate them. I am married with one daughter and live in Vienna, Virginia and Gloucester, Massachusetts.
