In 2002 I became published, a life-long dream. Three mysteries are in print - a 4th is on the way. My family-friendly stories have a good-over-evil ending. Main characters are competent Chicago PI Mike Shepherd, a nice guy in a serious relationship that doesn't always follow a smooth path. And Chicago shoe repairman, Fulton Moon (nickname Full Moon). His repair shop is called Moonshines. While trying to help his customers he always gets in over his head.
