Most of my Hunt for Justice books are set in Tampa, Florida, where Judge Willa Carson lives. Cold Justice is the big exception, taking place while Willa and her husband George are on a vacation in Michigan, where they run into murder. But from the first book in the series, Due Justice, to the most […]

Florida as a murder site? What gives?
I love Florida. I know, I know— who doesn’t? But bear with me. I’m not talking only about Disney World and the beaches.

Hemingway’s Secret Getaway: #Michigan
I think it goes without saying: Ernest Hemingway’s most famous home is the one in Key West, Florida.

But DNA isn’t always the whole story, is it? And you know I’m interested in justice, because of my background as a lawyer, and as a human […]

And in another case, DNA helped exonerate someone. You know I’m interested in justice, because of my background as a lawyer, and because of my Hunt for […]

A Photographic Tour of Bayshore Boulevard
Do you know one landmark that’s referenced in almost every one of my books set in Florida? Bayshore Boulevard in Tampa. That’s because it’s one of the true gems of the city.
