We've heard it before --- that love of reading as a child has inspired many writers. If truth be told, in my youth I read Nancy Drew mysteries. Those stories sparked a passion for mysteries and thrillers that lasts to this day. Curled up in my favorite chair with a dictionary by my side, I'd absorb every word of those cleverly written plots. Since then I've exchanged my childhood heroine for Megan McClure, financial pro, and one of the characters featured in my New York-based mystery series. While Megan doesn't wield a flashlight, nor date Ned Nickerson, she does know how to use a smart phone and has her own secret weapon --- good-looking, NYPD detective, Michael Giordano. In the debut novel, Click Clock BIDDER'S LOT, Megan and Mike confront a master of manipulation and murder. The duo continue their saga in the second installment, Click Clock LIAR'S LOT, when Megan reluctantly revisits recent events, and Mike must face the truth about a cunning serial killer, while questions swirl, betrayals abound, loyalties are frayed, and the hunt is on. When I'm not plotting new adventures for Megan and Mike, I'm toiling on Wall Street as an investment professional, hence my penchant for penning tales of madness and mayhem. I love writing these stories and hope you'll enjoy reading them.
