About this series
Harry Logan is a producer of modest but successful Hollywood movies. From Gabriella Dellacroce, an amorous Italian TV producer and long-time friend who has gone back to Italy for a year, Harry has ‘inherited’ Mike Roman, a retired government horticulturist, to take care of his garden.
One day in May, while cultivating the young Greek sweet peppers he had set out in Harry’s Beverly Hills back yard vegetable patch, Mike Roman is brutally stabbed and left to die in the dirt – for no apparent reason. Who would want to kill an old gardener? There are few clues, but for Harry this is personal. Very personal.
Despite a new film starting production, Harry gets progressively deeper into solving the tangled mystery of Mike’s murder and finds a trail of death extending to Turkey and Italy. It nearly costs Harry, his loving ex-wife Judy, and FBI agent John Quintero their lives.

- The Movie Ranch Murders
3
Harry Logan is a producer of modest Hollywood films. When, against all likelihood of box office success, he decides to make a Western, he strikes a deal with old-time producer Louie Pannetti to rent part of Louie’s ranch and its ghost town in the Mojave desert for the location shooting. There turns out to be a lot more shooting than just on film. People get killed, and the question is why, and Harry finds himself, his friends, and his movie in the middle of mobsters and spies.
- Long Memory
Harry Logan is a small-time Hollywood movie producer with a sense of humor, a slightly schizophrenic assistant usually named Lilith, and a still-loving and loved ex-wife, Judy, owner of an art gallery and a sharp, gutsy lady. Among Harry's friends is Al Lopez, a sometimes gruff LAPD detective. The murder of Goran Petrović, a young Serbian documentary filmmaker whom Harry had worked with, sets Harry on a hunt to find the killer. In his effort to unmask Goran's murderer, Harry must weave his way among some of the deep ethnic hatreds that destroyed Yugoslavia. There is a variety of suspects with differing motives for murder: jealousy, revenge, and greed. Harry very nearly becomes a victim himself – once early on in the story and then again near the end, along with Al and Judy, in a trap to catch the killer, with a surprise twist.
- Murder on the Set
Harry Logan is a Hollywood producer with a small list of modest hits to his name. He has a sense of humor, a still-loving and loved ex-wife Judy - the owner of an art gallery and a sharp, gutsy lady - , and a slightly bizarre assistant usually named Lilith. Among Harry's friends is Al Lopez, a sometimes gruff Los Angeles Police Department detective. The lead actress in Harry Logan's movie "The Versailles Plot" is shot to death with a prop gun during filming. A terrible accident? No, it was murder. Despite repeated warnings from Detective Al Lopez, Harry starts poking around to find the killer. A dangerous thing to do.

Stories and language are my passion. In elementary school, I asked my 8th grade teacher what language I should take in high school. She said, "Take Latin. It's a great foundation." Uh huh. I took it and found out it was, shall we say, challenging. I took four years of it and added French and Spanish in the last two years. In college, I got a degree in French language and literature, and had a couple of years each of Russian and Arabic. I've picked up a few other languages over the years, operated an international marketing services and translation business, and done tech writing in aerospace companies. Besides my current mysteries and thrillers, a long time ago I had two "hi-lo" novellas published, high-interest low vocabulary level books for teens with reading problems. They were "Wet Fire" and "Counterfeit!". The publishing company was sold and bought a number of times, and both of the books are still around in various editions. Originally from Detroit, Michigan, I have lived in the Los Angeles, California, area for many years. And, no, I was never a hippie. Probably just as well.
