Nice To Be Here! Hello!
Greetings!
I'm just getting started on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ, so I welcome anyone to become my friend here if you are so inclined.
I've been in the arts since high school (and that was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away). I've been a professional writer since my first book was published in 1984. To date (summer 2011) I've published 25 books with more on the way.
You can find out more about me on my and more about my upcoming novel The Black Stiletto . Be sure to watch the video!
Many of my back list original thrillers are available as e-books on Kindle and Smashwords for only $2.99 or less. The James Bond books are not up there yet, but I understand from the Ian Fleming Estate that they will be coming soon.
My own interests in books primarily reside in the thriller genre, but I occasionally venture into literary novels, science fiction, fantasy, non-fiction, and books about film and filmmakers. My favorite living author is Ruth Rendell (also known as Barbara Vine). Ian Fleming, of course, was a prime influence on me.
I hope to get to know you all better in the coming months!
