What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Killer Kowalski Takes the Mat?
I knew I was going to write this novel from the time that some of the events occurred. I had been a voracious reader since turning nine, always wanted to be a writer, and thought it would make a moving story--and one that hadn't been told very often. Still, it took several decades and about eight other novels before I got to it. In my defense, one of the novels—which, in one version, was longer than a thousand pages—I consider to be an ancestor of Killer Kowalski.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Killer Kowalski Takes the Mat, what would they be?
Biggie can sing “Where Do the Children Play?” and sound almost like Cat Stevens, as long as he sings along with the record. Had it existed at the time, I think he’d like “Superman’s Song,” by Crash Test Dummies. I’m pretty sure Gloria Serpentino would love “Pink Pony Club.”
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I write (and read) character-driven literary fiction. I’d also read anything by Michael Connelly and was once addicted to Raymond Chandler and his better descendants. A reviewer once compared me (sort of) to Bellow and Roth. I’m not sure if it was intended as praise, but I took it that way.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
My perennials are All the King's Men and Endless Love, to my mind two of the great novels of the 20th century, both of which I read about ten times when I was in my twenties, and would read aloud from to warm up before writing. I'm curious if I'd have the patience to read them now.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader, Robert Frost famously said. But aside from the emotional scenes, I really enjoyed writing the early scenes where Biggie and Gloria were feeling each other out over the phone, Biggie often misunderstanding (amusingly, I hope), but obviously enthralled.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
I used to read out loud before I’d write, from books I wish I’d written, imagining I was before a large, adoring audience. I thought that helped sharpen my ear quite a bit.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
Apropos of a coming-of-age novel, I’ve always been taken by something Iris Gaines says in Bernard Malamud’s first novel, The Natural: “I believe we have two lives, Roy, the life we learn with, and the life we live after that.”
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
Sometimes the people who will matter most to you are the people you'd least expect. Also, trying is better than not trying. Also, at the risk of sounding even more hackneyed and clichéd, it really is the journey that counts. And doing the right thing is its own reward. Finally, wrestling is a singularly demanding sport that deserves to be much more popular.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Seeing Things?
The story features a down-on-her-luck boardwalk psychic whose childhood visions return when she takes on a mysterious elderly client who claims to be in trouble. It’s a much darker book than my usual cozy mysteries, which are lighter and funnier. I wrote its first iteration during the pandemic; my mom had died two years previously, and I found myself taking on more serious themes in my work. However, the setting of a Jersey shore town is right on brand for me!
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of Seeing Things, what would they be?
Funnily enough, the Rod Stewart song, "Maggie May," actually figures importantly in the story. As does Bruce Springsteen's "Brilliant Disguise."
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I read everything: literary fiction, classics, romance, mystery, and thriller. I also write in several genres, but I would have to say that the most fun for me is writing romance featuring slightly older characters than the usual twenty-somethings.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
I just finished Brampton Wick by Elizabeth Fair, a mid-century British author. I'm re-reading Pride and Prejudice for the umpteenth time and will soon dive into a couple of holiday romances.
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
There are a number of scenes in which my main character, Maggie, experiences visions. Each of those scenes was both a challenge and a joy, as I was flexing some writer muscles I haven't really used. The paranormal aspects of the story were great fun to write.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
After writing Seeing Things, I bought a statue of St. Lucy to sit over my desk. She's an important symbol in the story, but I also learned that she watches over writers!
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
To paraphrase Ernest Hemingway (from The Old Man and the Sea): It's better to be exact than lucky--then when the luck comes, you are ready. I believe that honing my skills as a writer is a much better bet than relying on luck. (But when it appears, I'm ready for it!)
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
That there are human experiences that cannot be fully explained by logic or science. I believe there are people out there with a kind of second sight.

What's the story behind the story? What inspired you to write The Picasso Job?
I wanted to write a HEAT-type heist thriller where the bad guys were good and the good guys were bad, but once I started to outline the story, I realized that there would be more conflict if two of the thieves were trying to kill the hero thief, who does have a heart of gold. The good "guy," a female FBI agent, has flaws but turned out not to be rotten as I'd initially envisioned. It's fun to see how a story comes to life as I outline and begin to write the chapters.
If you had to pick theme songs for the main characters of The Picasso Job, what would they be?
Funny you should ask. Band on the Run by McCartney and Wings would be an apt theme song. Check out the Spotify playlist my publicist and I put together: Spotify Playlist
What's your favorite genre to read? Is it the same as your favorite genre to write?
I love all kinds of action thrillers. Yes, that's the genre I work in.
What books are on your TBR pile right now?
American Assassin (Flynn), The List (Berry), Damascus Station (McCloskey), and Secret of Secrets (Brown).
What scene in your book was your favorite to write?
The climax of the story. I know if it moves me, readers will also feel the emotional punch.
Do you have any quirky writing habits? (lucky mugs, cats on laps, etc.)
I love to outline while I'm hiking.
Do you have a motto, quote, or philosophy you live by?
The one most relevant to this novel is to "Let it go." This motto is repeated by one of the side characters and mirrors the book's theme of forgiveness.
If you could choose one thing for readers to remember after reading your book, what would it be?
Hate will eat you up from the inside.
