THE DANGEROUS SIDE OF DNA
You know I’m interested in justice because of my background as a lawyer. So of course, I write mystery/thriller/suspense. What else? DNA comes up all the time in my research and in my writing. I use it frequently in my Hunt for Jack Reacher Series books like Jack and Joe. And in my books about the […]
Why Biotechnology Might Save Your Life
Did you know that our survival often depends on Biotechnology? Not to mention great thriller stories! Many amazing medical discoveries from X-rays to bionic body parts can be attributed to Bio-Medical research and engineering.

Have you read all the books in the Hunt for Jack Reacher Series? Recommended by Lee Child, “Kim Otto is a great, great character. I love her. Make some coffee.

Are You a SuperReader? (Lee Child is!)
I’ve always been a reader, of course. Since I was a child. Mom was a reader, and she passed that love of books on to me. I’ve never actually counted.

Judge Willa Carson of my Hunt for Justice Series is from Michigan, too. Probably not much […]
When Doctors Go Bad
One of the fun parts about writing thriller novels is hiding the “bad guys” in unexpected places. That’s why, when I was dreaming up my newest Jess Kimball thriller, Fatal Game, one of the ideas I liked was for a doctor to be less than trustworthy. Unfortunately, the storyline happens not only in fiction, but […]
Why Fewer Cars Means More Movies for Michigan
I love Michigan. The bitter cold winters there, not so much. At this point in my life I mostly spend summers in Michigan and flock to Florida for winters. As a mystery/thriller novel writer, this is a plan that works out well for me. There’s something for everyone in Michigan. You know the state is […]
Home Invasion Is Key to Arrest in “Gone Girl” Case

But I will tell you this: Fatal Game involves a home invasion. I do extensive research when writing all of my thrillers to ensure that everything […]
