- About Me and My Book:
- I have multiple sleuths and probably a split personality. Bridget O'Hern is an amateur sleuth. She "seeks her bliss" and stumbles across dead bodies along the way. In her professional life, she does what I do, also, consult with nonprofits and write grants. In fact, I've written over fifty million in funded grants during my career. "Bridg" has appeared in Death Stalks the Khmer and Death Comes Too Soon. And she's heavily involved, having fun and some deadly experiences in Death Tours in Ireland.
Another of my protagonists is Gus Maloney, an ex-cop, an "alkie" and homeless, now the unofficial mayor of the homeless camp, Mudflat Manor, uses his old cop skills in "What Price Retribution?" This story will be out in the Akashic Press City Noir Series this spring. Seattle Noir will get a big welcome in the rainy city of the Seahawks and Mariners.
I also have a Golden Age sleuth, Alice Winthrope, who in her travels in the 1930's visiting her barrister nephew Winston, finds human nature intriguing and murders a delightful challenge to her intellect and snoopiness. She's currently on the Carribean island of Antigua, where she's solving "A Rum Mystery." Of course, I had to attend the Antigua and Barbuda Caribbean Literary Festival. This research is such hard work. Note, the pix of me taken on a small, sandspit island off the western coat of Antigua. You can see I have a proprietor's mindset.

I'm a Pacific Northwesterner myself--trying to get acquainted in this group. Your books sound like good reads--love the idea of the "golden age" sleuth! I just had my first novel (Cowgirl Dreams) published. Very exciting!
Check out my latest blogs about my design project for the upcoming release of Confessions of a Former Rock Queen.

Scribblers’ Retreat is a non-profit organization established with the goal of reaching writers of all ages; to inspire and promote their hidden gifts and talents.
By involving the local community, authors, publishers, editors, journalists and all forms of the literary world, we are opening their minds and bringing hope where there was doubt.
Scribblers’ Retreat is not the typical classroom setting. It was designed to bring world-class authors, literature professors, editors, journalists, illustrators, photo journalists, proofreaders, publishers, publicists, screenplay writers, and website/graphic designers, etc. one-on-one with young and old alike. It is the opportunity of a lifetime for someone who has had a manuscript in a desk drawer for 40 years or who has an outstanding poem that simply must be read.
Scribblers’ Retreat Writers’ Conference
Where “can’t” is not in our vocabulary.
