A Vietnam Era Veteran, my desire to write was born in my late teens. Inspired and encouraged by professionals when I spent a year as the Office Boy for the President and other Executives of Gannett News. My higher education was interrupted by a six-year stint in the Navy, where I developed my ability to spin a tale, coached by some of the best story tellers around, and where the best stories usually began with “Now this ain’t no B…S…”.
Married to the same wonderful woman for almost 50 years now, I somehow managed to earn three degrees by working and going to college at night, while we raised our daughter. This daughter kept my creative juices flowing, as she required me to come up with a new story every night about one of her stuffed animals. I began to write fiction, along with poetry, as a way to battle boredom at work, as well as to fill the time spent alone, as it was my wife’s turn to complete her dream and become an Art Historian. With our daughter now married, and living her dream as an Elementary School Teacher, wife, and mother of the greatest granddaughter in the world, it was time for me to re-kindle my dream. I retired at the earliest age that I could and began to write seriously. My first published work was a feature article for a collecting magazine, titled “Addicted to Glass”.
Not being a person who tolerates long waits for answers well, I read up on the world of self-publishing. I decided to give it a go. I published works under a pen name at first, and then more recently under my own name. To date, between the two, I have over thirty works of fiction ranging from short stories to novels, along with three collections of poetry, and four stand-alone poems published.

In episode 4 of the Jasper, Street Fighter, and Me detective series, titled “M is for Malice,” we learn about the latest investigative escapades of Private Investigator Maggie McKenzie, her mutt Jasper, and her alley cat named Street Fighter. This time the client is a woman who feels she is being stalked by her ex-husband. The book starts with a bang—literally—as Maggie is hurtled in the air as someone crashes into her car. The first sergeant to arrive suspects a crime, and not an accident scene. A young man close by has a dash cam in his car and happens to record the crash. The video shows no visible driver in the car that plowed into Maggie’s—and then the car explodes (for those who are curious, Jasper and Street Fighter were not in Maggie’s car and hence were unharmed, although they are usually with her). The red-headed twins Maddy and Patty are back (they were key characters in episode 3). What’s their connection? Is there a connection? And when yet another twin makes her appearance, what is going on? I don’t want to give away the story line. “M is for Malice” is another enjoyable read from Richard Nurse. Once again, it’s a page-turner; the action starts on page one and keeps going. I received a free copy of the book in exchange for a non-reciprocal honest review.

This is the 4th book of the series and is the best one yet. There are lots of twists and turns in the plot and many surprises as well. If you think you know all about Maggie and her furry cohorts Jasper and Street-Fighter, you will need to think again. Fast paced and fun. I received a copy of this book in order to do a non-reciprical review.
