As a native Californian, I spent most of my life in the Golden State before recently moving over the Donner Pass to Nevada. However, the five years I lived on the Isle of Man in the British Isles not only gave me many ideas for my writing, but also a less Americentric perspective. As a Britophile, my love of things English, Irish, Scottish and Manx influences my writing. So does my love of mystery and history, both of which also come into play in my books. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, Antonia Fraser and George MacDonald Fraser are a few of my favorite authors. I admit that I am a little proud that my Masters thesis is in the library of the Centre for Manx Studies on the Isle of Man, possibly the only American contribution on Manx history there.
