A little intro. I write detective fiction, which I call North Noir, set in Northern USA and Canada. You know what they say? “Leave your Scandinavian Noir in the sauna. It’s time for North Noir.”
On the bio side, I grew up in North America, mostly in Canada but also the USA. I’ve traveled the world using numerous aliases (for non-nefarious purposes, of course). You’ll have to take my word on that. I’ve lived and worked abroad, mainly in the USA. I see America through a bifurcated lens, that of a Canadian observing and dissecting, close yet miles away.
Keep coming back. I post blogs about writing detective fiction as well as fiction in general. I post book reviews. I’ll keep you up-to-date on the North Noir novels. They follow prescribed narrative conventions, such as the inclusion of forensic detail, yet the prose isn’t formulaic. It’s as important as the plot. Welcome!
The first North Noir novel, Bay of Blood, is available in stores and online, as are the first two novels in the DETECTIVE BOURQUE Series: The Color Red and Silver Moon Rising. Click here for sales details.
Kudos for the Detective Bourque Series: “Impressive series launch. Fans of intelligent procedurals will hope for a long series run.” ~ Publishers Weekly
