Can a man presume to write from a woman’s point of view?

A Woman of Valor represented a major departure for me as a writer in a number of ways. Some may applaud what I’ve attempted; others may take issue with it. First, at the most superficial level, I switched sub-genres (from legal thrillers and mysteries to “police procedural”) and begin an entirely new series with new […]

I get asked often (every writer does), Why this book? Why this topic, these themes? Why now?

Did I have […]

The World According to Gil

In my forthcoming police procedural novel, A Woman of Valor, the main character (Valorie) gets trained by an older, more experienced officer, Sergeant Gil Krysinski. Among other things, Gil explains to Val what he considers to be the “Four Types of Cops” (see the table for a summary): Type One:  the “Soldier”, or what’s known […]
