My 12 mystery novels are available as ebooks from Mysterious Press/Open Road Media. In addition to seven in the Willa Jansson series and five in the Laura Di Palma series, a collection of my short stories, Lovers and Lawyers, is also on ebook shelves. My latest story, "Jonestown," will be in Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine's March/April issue, on sale February 11.

If you'd like to know more about the novels — previously in print from Bantam, Simon & Schuster, Ballantine, and Pocket/Pocket Star Books — pull-down menus and buttons will take you to descriptions and reviews. You can read more about the Lovers and Lawyers stories (nine originally in anthologies and three in Ellery Queen) here.

The novels have been released as German language ebooks by dotbooks, too. The print editions were published in translation by Rotbuch, Heyne, Econ, and Ullstein Taschenbuch.
