I'm the author of the critically acclaimed Matt Jacob mystery series, which includes Still Among the Living, Two Way Toll, and No Saving Grace. I think of myself as a “serial careerist." I've worked as a Vista volunteer and a private counselor for individuals, couples, and groups. I was a founder of the People’s School in Uptown, Chicago, a school for high school dropouts. I also worked at Boston’s Project Place when it was a worker-run social service collective that provided free crisis intervention and other community services. And, I served as the Clinical Supervisor for one of Boston's methadone clinics.
For the past decade and change, I’ve consulted with various national attorneys as a trial and jury consultant.
E-book versions of Still Among the Living, Two Way Toll, and No Saving Grace are currently available via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, SmashWords, and other major sites. A new Matt Jacob mystery, Ties that Blind, is also on the way. It will be available as an E-book and via print on demand (POD). In Ties that Blind, Matt becomes entangled in the dysfunctional family of his father-in-law's new love interest. As Matt deals with drive-by shootings and suspicious accidents, he struggles with his own fears about the growing attachments to the people in his life.
In addition to writing new Matt Jacob mysteries, I've been learning music and the sax with a very tolerant and supportive teacher, and I play in an eight-person ensemble. I live in Boston with my partner, Susan E. Goodman, a children’s book author (http://www.susangoodmanbooks.com), and have two sons, Matthew and Jacob, and a daughter-in-law, Alyssa.
