"I don't like writing. I like having written." That saying has been attributed to everyone from author-editor Gloria Steinem to television character Oscar Madison. Who cares? What bliss! I now have written.

Job #1 for any mystery, of course, is to entertain. If that's not accomplished, nothing else matters. In Dot Dead, Ian Michaels, a Silicon Valley over-achiever who values success at work above all, finds himself entangled in a web of suspicion and murder. I hope you'll enjoy discovering not only how Ian confronts the challenge of a lifetime, but also how he figures out what's truly important.

Let me know how well I have succeeded in making Dot Dead entertaining. Contact me. I'd like to hear from you.

Best wishes,
Keith
