I am a former writer for National Lampoon and my short fiction has appeared in such national literary journals such as Del Sol Review and The Potomac Review. My other novels include WELCOME HOME MAJOR BEARCLAW, THE DEADEST GUN IN THE WEST (Amazon Contest Finalist), and MARY AND THE GODDESS OF EPHESUS. Regarding my motivation for writing DRAGON RIPPER and THE DETECTIVISTS series? As an armchair historian I've always been enthralled by late 19th century history. I enjoy Sherlock Holmes, though felt annoyed that other than Mrs. Hudson, the landlady, Conan Doyle included no female character who appeared regularly throughout the series. Other authors have tackled this issue in a variety of ways, but I thought that having a female Watson-stand-in, as well as a female Holmes stand-in--while also including Sherlock as a side character--would be a new take on a classic tale!
