Smashwords Interview

When did you first start writing?
I started writing in 2010 with my first Jon Masters international medical thriller called LETHAL MEDICINE and published that debut novel in 2015. Since that time, I have written and published three more novels: IMPERFECT MURDER, ALMOST DEAD, and THE SERIAL CHEMIST.
What do you write about and why?
I am a retired pharmacist and have an interest in both the benefits of medications and their potential for harm. I have read murder mysteries and thrillers all of my life and in retirement decided to write my own. I have authored four novels in two thriller series: the Jon Masters international thriller series and the Detective Rosie Young/Vince Mendez detective duo murder mystery/thriller series. Each of my novels includes Murder, Mayhem and Medicine.
