A gripping, historical fiction murder mystery. In the Siberian winter of 1921, two tons of Tsarist' gold secretly travel by rail to Alexander Kolchak, Supreme Commander of the White Army in Siberia fighting the Bolshevik Communist Reds. The gold never arrived. For the next hundred years that vast treasure was thought to have been sledded out onto frozen Lake Baikal sink in the spring melt. When Marta Russco, a Russian reporter and friend of Clayton Lovell Stone's, is brutally murdered in Siberia, Stone weaves through a tightening web of political corruption, contract murder, and Putin's secret love life in search of the martyred Tsar's lost gold. But while Stone follows the trail of lost gold, others after that gold seek to silence Stone in the frozen depths of Lake Baikal. Clayton Lovell Stone, former FBI Art and Artifacts investigator, quits the agency in disgust to open a restaurant in Annapolis, Maryland, overlooking the Chesapeake Bay. But when he reluctantly concedes that he's addicted the danger and excitement of the chase, he takes on private art and antiquities investigations to keep his mind form his adrenaline flowing and his mind in gear. Each Clayton Lovell Stone mystery/adventure is based on actual, lost-or-stolen art or artifact in which the current investigation can only be resolved by unraveling an earlier historical mystery.

A historical love story set in16th century England that changed that changed the course of history and nearly topple a thrown. The story of the lover and the love child that had to be denied to save the crown. What if William Shakespeare didn't write any of the plays or sonnets attributed to him? What if he couldn't? What if he was illiterate? And if William Shakespeare didn't write them, who did, and why is Shakespeare's name attached to plays he didn't write? The Queen and the Playwright is the gripping tale, told in narrative fiction, of a brilliant, political figure, fourteenth in line for throne of England, whose affair and clandestine child by the "virgin queen," Elizabeth I, threw the succession into jeopardy and opened England to the imminent threat of invasion. The father of that secret child and author of the "Shakespeare" plays was forced to shed his name, his reputation, and any connection he had with the crown, replaced by William Shakespeare, an illiterate in need of money. This is the true story of how William Shakespeare went down in history as the most famous playwright the world has ever known, while the actual author, away from court and out of power, died in excruciating pain, reworking plays he knew would never be published under his own name.

What if William Shakespeare didn't write the plays attributed to him? And, if he didn't write them, why was the true author's name deleted from the greatest plays ever written in the English language? "He didn't write them you know," a Smithsonian researcher I was dating looked across the restaurant table and flatly stated. "What do you mean, he didn't write them? Of course he wrote them." "Believe what you want to believe," she said, adjusting her napkin in her lap. "If you want to stay naïve, that's entirely up to you." True or false, fact or rumor, the case against Shakespeare as the playwright had apparently convinced one bright Smithsonian researcher that the true authorship lay in another direction. I had always wanted to write a historical novel. Skeptical or not, maybe this was the time and this was the subject. Body of Evidence is the story that led me to England on the adventure of a lifetime.
