I wrote my first book Bricked after teaching in a school for at-risk students. Pat Riordan, the protagonist in my mystery trilogy, was introduced in this novel. In the second book of the trilogy, The Slip Swing, Riordan, the teacher, has also taken on the role of an amateur shamus while having been named a person of interest in a missing woman case. Detective Sergeant Donald Cromwell says Riordan is also likely guilty in the disappearance of two other women. Fired from his teaching position, Riordan sets out to exonerate himself as Cromwell builds a case against him. Accompanied by a stray dog, Riordan prods onward through unexplained encounters. Pieces start to fall into place, but answers lead to more questions.

The Slip Swing has a paranormal bent, driven by hard dialogue, reflecting my years working in the criminal justice system and my experiences as a teacher. My intent was to provide a fresh twist for the reader of mysteries and for the detective in all of us.

Industry Reviews

"Slip Swing" fenomena is a great segue into unraveling a mystery

Mesmerizing

Enjoyed the development of the character, Rirodan, from book 1 of then series to book 2. Evolving from an academic into an amateur sleuth embellished the character.

The author's background as an investigator and court reporter gave him solid insight as to how a crime may be investigated.

The book inspired the amateur sleuth in me.

Looking forward to the next unsolved crime.

A plot with unexpected turns kept me turning pages. The characterization is real. The ending is not the one I would have written, but that's part of the mystery.
