Emily’s Crime Watch – Tip #2

Emily’s main driving force in Compulsion is to track down child abductors and child murderers in order to have them brought to justice. She feels that it’s most important to protect the innocent from the evil in society at all costs. This has cost Emily the opportunity of a normal life with a family of her own, but she feels it’s all worth it when she’s able to contribute to the safe return of a child.

It is absolutely imperative today that parents and guardians know all the resources to better

Some Insight into One of My Professional Influences

One of the most common questions that any professional is likely to face from an employer, customer, or even curious friend is, “Who had the biggest influence on your chosen career path?” Of course, like most people, I have a deep appreciation for numerous people who taught and encouraged me throughout my life. However, one person who I always have to mention is Joel Norris. He is author of the book Serial Killers, and his work greatly influenced me to study criminology and serial criminals.

Bringing Minds Together to Tackle Unsolved Mysteries

In my thriller novel Compulsion, I introduce my readers to Emily Stone. She works alone to track down and record some of the most despicable predators in our communities. Without an official police badge or the equipment offered by law enforcement, Emily uses her own sharp intuition and tools of technology to provide the local police with the evidence they need to bring a criminal to justice.

How many of us have at one time or another pictured ourselves as amateur detectives who would someday di

Emily’s Crime Watch – Tip #1

Emily Stone is the heroine in my novel Compulsion. She expertly tracks down pedophiles and serial killers and then anonymously emails her entire investigation to the police detective in charge of the case. She’s definitely one high-tech super sleuth that gets the job done as more criminals are taken off the streets. Her compulsion is to make sure that children, neighbors, and communities are safe from crime.

I want everyone to be safe from crime. I will be posting a weekly crime and safety tip th

Book Signing at the Aromas Hills Artisans Country Garden Tour

I had a few moments before the garden tour began to sit and enjoy my lavish garden surroundings. I actually felt at peace and completely relaxed. The garden was inspiring and uplifting to both my mind and overall well-being. My designated artist’s spot was called the Orchid & Iris Room. It was utterly breathtaking. The entire surrounding garden was filled with blooming flowers of every spectacular color and they actually danced slightly in the subtle breeze orchestrated through the trees. Birds

There May Be More Victims of Serial Killers Than We Realize

In addition to keeping busy with my ongoing writing projects, I also think it is important to devote some time regularly to staying current on the latest research and news concerning criminology and forensics. In addition to maintaining my long-standing interest in these fields of study, I believe that keeping up-to-date with the latest news helps to add accuracy and detail to my own work. I recently came across an article first published in 2007 that grabbed my attention and I wanted to share

Take an Outdoor Nature Adventure this Weekend

One of the things that I love about living near the coast in California is the variety of nature that I see everyday. There are the beaches, rolling hills, rocky bluffs, state parks, and bird estuaries. All of these great locations draw many of the native wildlife creatures and plant life. This is definitely the inspiration for my love of photography and has also motivated many local artists to create various forms of art.

The Aromas Hills Artisans are a group of wonderful artists that are kno

Justice Delayed, but Justice Served

I was watching one of those “Cold Cases” programs on cable television over the weekend. I guess I could consider it research for further writing projects. The documentary focused on the shooting of two police officers in a small California town back in 1957. Despite relentless investigating by various levels of law enforcement, the cop killer evaded justices for more than forty years. It was only after technology progressed to the point through which digital imagery and re-creation was possible
