The Yale Larsson PI Series

I have been an avid reader since I was a kid. Mystery novels are my favorites. After receiving a membership to Florida Writer’s Association, I started writing my own novels. The Myakka Murders is my first novel. It’s received lots of 5 star reviews on Amazon. I’ve just published the second novel in the Yale Larsson PI Book series: Sarasota Sour Grapes

Overexposed on Bird Key is now available in Kindle or paperback at Amazon.com
