Thank you for visiting my web site. I hope you find some useful information and maybe a story or two you might enjoy.

I've been writing and telling stories in some way, shape or form for 25 years or so. My aim has always been to entertain, inform, and/or explore certain aspects of human life.

Why mysteries and fiction?

Over the years, I've written across all genres of fiction, a bit of poetry and a great deal of opinion and non-fiction.

Fiction, and mystery fiction in particular, allows me to explore certain themes and questions that intrigue me.

Primarily I like exploring that gray area between what is right and what is wrong. Is there a time and place where it is acceptable to perform an act of evil for a good and noble cause? Can this even be done? What is the inner turmoil for good people who go bad, who are motivated by revenge or even vigilantism?

These are not easy questions to answer, but through fiction, we can explore them and perhaps gain a greater understanding of those who find themselves facing these questions in real life.

For several years, I kept a blog about writing and fiction with a focus on mysteries. I am revising it and it can be found here.

You may e-mail me anytime at claymorgan001@gmail.com. I love to talk mysteries, writing and other related topics.
