Congratulations to suspense/thriller author, Maggie Giles, on the publication of her third novel, WICKED, A NOVEL.

WICKED is a gripping sequel set in the heart of Canada, where a determined detective and a forensic expert uncover a chilling conspiracy with nationwide implications, making it a must-read for fans of Gillian Flynn and Lisa Gardner.

I was delighted to be interviewed by author, Heather Weidner, on her Writers Who Kill blog post about my short story, "From Here to Serenity" in the CRIME IN THE OLD DOMINION anthology.
