Behavioral Detective
Everyone's hiding something. After nine years as a Washington DC process server and private investigator, I got pretty good at finding it. Now I'm writing everything down: true stories, crime fiction, and everything in between.
The Behavioral Detective.
True(ish) stories on Sundays. Fiction on Wednesdays. Give it one episode. Just one.
True crime adjacent with a real estate bent.
