About

In the past, before plunging into the unknown to become a writer, I was a special agent for the U.S. Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS). For twenty plus years, I worked throughout the world as a federal criminal investigator specialising in counterintelligence. I witnessed the darker side of humanity. I witnessed the unmasking of many shadow-personas hiding behind social masks. It was a great job but I decided to take an early retirement and plunge into the world of writing. Now, to support my writing, to augment my pension, I am a part-time contract special investigator conducting U.S. government security background investigations. My goal is to make my writing a full-time job, to transform my writing from avocation to vocation. Wish me luck.
