A Little Background

R.L is a lifelong writer of stories and poems and songs and now, novels. As a kid his mom and he would try to plot whodunits on Sunday afternoons; in middle school R.L.’s and his friends tried to develop our own superhero comic book; and in college he wrote song lyrics for his pop-punk band Gone Ashley. But R.L. has had a novel stuck in his head for the last 20 years and it’s about time for him to let it all out.

Professionally, R.L. has been a storyteller throughout his long law enforcement career. He has written factually about the mundane to the maniacal. He’s have told his peers, his bosses and juries about what he’s seen and done, what he’s investigated and what he was able to prove. It is a procedural and clinical style; something R.L. has brought over to his fiction writing.

So, at this crossroad of his life and his career, well into his 40’s and on the downswing toward retirement; R.L. is going to live out his dream of being a writer. He has his wife and daughter in his corner and the whole world for an audience.
