Authentic Stories From a Life of Investigations

My journey into writing began after decades spent working in emergency medicine and medicolegal investigations, experiences that shaped both my perspective and my passion for storytelling. As a part-time medical examiner for over 35 years, I witnessed firsthand the intricacies of death and the subtle ways it impacts lives in rural communities. In 2012, inspired by these encounters, I began crafting mysteries that reflect the struggles and resilience of individuals facing life’s darker aspects. These stories, grounded in my work in the field, provide an authentic glimpse into death investigations that are as much about humanity as they are about mystery.

My commitment to authenticity is at the core of everything I create. Each novel is carefully constructed to reflect the realities of rural medicolegal investigations, where limited resources often meet complex cases. This dedication ensures readers not only find engaging plots and compelling characters but also a truthfulness that resonates with those familiar with the rural Virginia setting. With Hundley Books, I strive to honor the lived experiences of communities like my own, capturing their spirit while delivering powerful, thought-provoking narratives.
