  <about><![CDATA[Hi Good Reads!

I grew up in the great state of Michigan before attending Stanford University and the University of Michigan Law School.  Try not to hold the law school thing against me.

My hometown is actually the same as that of crime-fiction great Elmore Leonard (Get Shorty, etc.), so maybe that's where I get my love of mysteries.  But probably not, since I've never met him.  In any case, when I'm not writing I'm also a (very) amateur photographer.

Hope you enjoy my first novel for teens, The Morgue and Me.]]></about>  <influences><![CDATA[Graham Greene, Stephen King, Ross Macdonald, Denise Mina]]></influences>    <hometown>Birmingham, Michigan</hometown>
