The cold Monterey Bay quickly surrounded her petite body as she eased herself further into its icy grip. She unconsciously took a deep cleansing breath and slowly let out an exhalation.

Fog deftly floated across the boat harbor at Gulls Landing, and then headed east with the usual paranormal flair. The atmospheric ghost continued to gradually suffocate the masts of nearby boats until they were no longer visible.

Her vision was obscured only by the heavy coastal...

With families gathering to celebrate Thanksgiving this week, I am making sure that I take time to reflect on all that I have to be thankful for this year.

Emily's Crime Watch – Tip #13

It's the holiday time again!

This is my heroine Emily Stone's favorite time of the year. She has some precautions to ensure that everyone has a joyful and festive holiday.

This is the time where many of us are busy, with not only everyday things, but with shopping, holiday decorating, parties, and much more. This is also the time where we need to be careful in protecting our families and homes from burglaries, identity theft, and assault.

The holidays can be a time where potential criminals use ...

Peruvian Gang Members May Have Murdered Dozens for their Fat

In the study of forensic psychology, we try to learn about what motivates criminals to behave in the way that they do. In particular, I have been fascinated with the psychological make-up of serial killers. Were they driven to become murders by some traumatic experiences as a child? Is there something genetically immutable in these dangerous criminals? Do they get a sexual thrill from the violence and the extinguishing of life? Recent arrests in Peru require another question to be asked. What...

Taking the Time to Enjoy Nature

One way I clear my mind in between writing sessions is to take a walk in nature or go to the beach with my two Labradors companions. I'm lucky to live in California because I can choose what type of nature I want to enjoy.

I've been busy preparing for my newest novel release of "Dead Game" and I'm completely exhausted. I'm very excited, but in desperate need of a break. I decided to go on a nature walk to clear my mind and to step back a moment to examine the tranquil beauty that surrounds me ...

The Psychological Impact of the "Broken Windows" Theory

My academic background has helped me to explore and understand some of the complicated aspects of the criminal justice system when addressing crime, criminals, profiling, and crime scene investigation. This is one of main reasons that I chose this field because of its diversity and challenges. I find this field fascinating and thought-provoking on so many levels.

There are so many facets to crime and that is the main reason why there isn't just one easy answer to solve the growing problem. Exp...

Serial Killer in Ohio Lived Among His Dead Victims

Unfortunately, last month brought forensic psychologists who study serial killers another new murderer to examine. The decomposing bodies of eleven women have been discovered in and around the Cleveland home of Anthony Sowell. Some of the bodies were left to decay inside the home as he lived among them, while others were buried in the backyard. With all of this carnage on his property, you would think that a neighbor would have complained about the stench. However, the fact that Sowell lived ...
