The New Face of Crime

“Keep your face always toward the sunshine – and shadows will fall behind you.” ~ Walt Whitman
The ability of law enforcement to maintain order has always depended on its capacity to outmatch the technological advancements of society’s underbelly. From the early days of systematic photography, to polygraph machines, to the ultra-modern technology of facial recognition, forensic science always strives to remain one step ahead of the criminals who prey up...

Vigilante Detective Emily Stone Answers 5 Questions #NewRelease #Thriller
I receive many questions about the heroine in my Emily Stone Thriller Series. I thought it might be fun to ask her a few questions. She was my inspiration and creation after a personal experience with a real psychopath. But enough about me, let us ask Emily Stone a few questions.

To Lie or Not To Lie
Years ago I had an interview with a police department for a forensic position. I had already been fingerprinted, interviewed by the supervisor, had an in-depth background meeting with the background investigators trying to catch me in a lie from my thirty plus page application of my background, and the investigator even visited my home. I still wasn’t done with the interview process yet! The final phase of the interview was the infamous lie detector test.
I’m a fairly easy-going, straight to...

A Knife for Vigilante Detective Emily Stone
I am always looking for ways to add to Emily Stone’s arsenal when she goes on her covert investigations hunting serial killers. I wanted to add a knife as back up to her Glock and Beretta, so I decided to ask the expert who would completely know what she should carry. Benjamin Sobieck is the go-to weapon’s guy for writers. I got my answer and MORE! I’m so excited! I’ve already outlined some scenes for the next Emily Stone Thriller using her new back up weapon.

What Inspires My Writing
I love writing action thrillers, but I find it necessary to take breaks to clear my mind and just relax. This is especially true when my mind is full of serial killers and crime scenes! Everyone should find something that will lessen the load of stress and recharge your battery.
One of my favorite hobbies is photography. 
I have always loved the outdoors, nature, and the beach. I am fortunate to live near the beach and I seize the opportunity whenever possible to take a walk – I call it my pho...

Examining Four Types of Serial Killers
The term serial killer is defined by the act either of two or more separate murders, acting alone or with another, during a period of time with breaks in between each murder, or what has been referred to as a cooling off period. They are a unique breed of individuals that make special efforts to elude detection from law enforcement.
It is not exactly known how many are practicing at any given time across the US. The FBI has given an estimate of 200 serial killers roaming in the US at one time...

Writing a Novel is Like Training a German Shepherd
Five months ago, I rescued a year and half-old German shepherd named Odin and added him to my family. He is an amazing dog, high drive, sweet and intelligent, and he can be trained to do any type of service or search work. To be more specific he is a Czech German shepherd, which means that he is full of energy and demands a strict daily routine for play and advanced training.
Odin is my first shepherd. I have had Labradors and various retrievers in the past, so I am used to all types of train...
