Going Missing

In A Pefect Stranger, the husband goes missing suddenly one day. Yet, how many of us are missing each day. How many go through the day on automatic, not truly there, not feeling or saying that which is going on in our relationships and in our hearts? How important it is to be present, moment by moment with everything life brings to us. When we are we do not have to suddenly run away and escape from the incredible lie we've been living.

Where Can We Find True Safety?

In my new book, A Perfect Stranger the world seems so safe, nestled among trees, hills and lakes in a small Midwestern town. But then, little by little, as the surface calm is shaken, the truth of life comes out by itself, and the characters must search for deeper understanding of themselves, others and how to find real peace of mind.This quest takes courage.

There are endless challenges one faces when love and mystery unite. In all the books of the Caribbean Murder Series, the characters are forced to face the truth not only about what happened, but about their relationships and what it means to really love.

The Criminal Heart

Is there truly a criminal heart? Is crime something we are all capable of? This is an enormous question that many have grappled with. What causes us to turn down a dark and dangerous path? What pulls us in this direction? And, is the outcome inevitable, once we forget about certain parts of lives and of ourselves.



Some would say the criminal heart has been overcome with temptation, with greed, desire, panic. There could also be a simpler explanantion...one that goes to the very core of who we are and what we are doing in this world. I explore this in my next book and in every book I write.

Every Crime Leaves a Trace

There is the idea that every crime leaves a trace, that goes on for eternity. This crime calls out to be known. Both the one who committed the crime and the victims of it remain in an inextricable dance, until the truth is known. And every crime can be known. Deep within we are all aware of it.

Death In The Caribbean

It's actually amazing what a difference it makes to die or be killed in the Caribbean...The police and justice system are different  from the U.S. Some say that the police don't care so much about foreign deaths. Crime can be considered natural. Inquests can take years. The pace of everything is much more slow and there are endless twists and turn, if you do not understand their system of law.
