My friend Kathy Harper urged me to join rara-avis. As a new-bee, I should introduce myself. I wrote two private eye books almost twenty years ago. COCAINE AND BLUE EYES was published in 1978 and CINDERELLA AFTER MIDNIGHT was published in 1980. C&BE was made into an NBC made for tv movie in 1983. I teach part time at Bowling Green State University, and sometimes at the University of Findlay and sometimes at Owens Community College. I mention this because my work load often keeps me too swamped to do much more than lurk. Having said all that, I'll go back to lurking. Wishing you all a pleasant summer, I remain . . .
