A Little About Me

Who doesn’t love a good murder?

I’ll be the first to admit it: the living are fine, but the dead are far more interesting. A lifelong lover of the great authors and sleuths of detective fiction’s Golden Age—think Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, John Dickson Carr and Ellery Queen, I have a positive passion for secluded county estates, shady heirs, locked rooms and impossible murders.

I have poured this love into my books: mysteries featuring professional researcher and Scottish historian Elle Cunningham Mackay, thrillers starring curiosity store owner Emery Vaughn and a pair of Golden Age series featuring former spy Dr. Moira Magarry and village vicar James Valentine.

If you love mysteries, too—cozies, whodunnits, police procedurals, pastiches, you name it—then let’s get acquainted. Want to chat up a murder? Drop me a line. Looking for a new author to love or maybe even a free book or two? Check out my blog and subscribe to my newsletter for first dibs!

Upcoming Events

One or two weekends each month will usually find me on the road — anywhere from Miami to Manhattan. I am usually travelling as part of my work as either a silversmith with County Argyle or a collector of oddities with Arca Noctis. I also do infrequent author events with bookstores and cultural groups around the region. If you’d like to see me in person, check out the calendar below to find out when I’ll be in your area. For more information on any of the events, simply click the calendar entry for a pop-up box.
