I’m a retired IT manager and tech writer, a guy who studied political science and economics and ended up writing computer programs for a living. I’ve never lived fully inside my own lane, so to speak, so genre-crossing stories appeal to the nonconformist in me. Along these lines, my book crosses genre boundaries, a legal thriller without lawyers or judges, told from the perspective of a guilty everyman instead of the innocent, wrongly-accused defendant. Having served on a few juries, I’m fascinated by the role of the common person in this pivotal process that underpins democracy.
Rural, eastern Canada yields a literary mystery with rough, gritty characters, both men and women, with a clash of Anglo and Francophone cultures in a struggle for coexistence.

Another mystery with heavy overlays of the paranormal, Mertz’s spare, tight prose and down-to-earth characters are evocative of Cormac McCarthy. It’s also a bit of a period piece, set in eastern Oregon in the 1980s.
His selective employment of technology and cultural markers gives the period elements life as characters in the story.
