I'm "writing the wrongs" one novel at a time . . .

​

I never thought I would end up writing novels - particularly crime stories, but over the last 13  years, I've averaged writing more than a book a year.  Turns out, writing is one of my two passions.* 

​

A bit about my novels - If you love a good story that draws you in, where you get to know the  characters - or if you're into solving mysteries  or determining who committed the crime - chances are good that you will enjoy my books. (And no, the butler didn't do it.)  

​

In the pages of my novels you will find  plot twists that keep you engaged until the very end - and may well surprise you!

My most loyal readers refer to them as "zingers"...

​

I have recently completed my first book of non-fiction which was some 7 years in the making, and titled "A Point of View - you don't know what you don't know." While different in content it is written in the style to which my readers have become accustomed.  I hope you will check it out - and enjoy it.

About Me.

After years of working with an excellent client list in designing marketing and advertising campaigns, I ventured to a new state and ultimately a new beginning. No one would have ever convinced me that I would or could write mysteries - particularly crime novels. Now here I am some 25 years later, doing just that.  I've always enjoyed writing but did so for my own pleasure: Prose, Poetry, Song lyrics . . . but novels and ultimately non-fiction? I hardly find it believable. In any event, the book list follows, along with a tab adjacent to the book description for ordering. A word about that - when you click on the tab, it routes you directly to Amazon where you can create your order.  All of my books come in Perfect Paperback AND/OR in the Kindle format for you who prefer digital content. Thanks for visiting. I hope you will check out my books!

Friendships can be powerful relationships, particularly if they lead you into a world of crime.  Meet Eric Ashton and his best friend Carl Finnegan, two thirty something mid-westerns who grew up to become successful mechanical engineers.  Having met during a stint at General Electric, the two left the corporate world to become independent contractors. All was going well until Carl's drinking and womanizing invaded the personal territory of Eric. Enter Doris Baker - the woman who caught the eye of both men.  When Carl enlisted his friend's help in the heist of an armored car, Eric wanted no part of it, but acquiesced with prodding from Carl. So the story begins, as does the deceit. Follow the story as the lives of everyone involved takes on new meaning and profound consequences.  Mystery, romance, choices...they are all here.

Real solutions and support that may well  help you save a life... perhaps your own.

Mystery and intrigue along with a great love story that tugs at the heartstrings.

This fictional story examines two

unsolved crimes set in Jacksonville,

Florida; one – the murder of a

30-year-old that occurred 7 years

prior; the second – a child, age 12

is abducted – and the case is now 5 years unresolved.  Heather Howell and Steven Oliver Bascom take on these cases in search of answers and most importantly – justice.  Howell and Bascom revive the effort – working with the original detectives and first responders – uncovering not only the truth but identifying those who were inexplicably left as collateral damage in the wake of these crimes.

Captivating crime solving at its very best.

What goes around comes around - or so they say. With a stellar record in solving old or cold cases, the investigative team of Howell and Bascom set out in the quaint town of Gadsden, Alabama to solve another mystery and uncover what really happened.  In doing so they unravel  countless facts that have hidden the truth until now and in the process prove that Karma is real.  

 A heart wrenching story of deceit, lies, peer pressure and the desire to get ahead

at any cost.

it is a matter of life and death.

The case - a liquor warehouse fire that occurred in 2017 and a lone individual discovered inside, severely burned and pronounced dead at the scene.  The fire is ruled arson, but two years later it is unresolved.   In a world where things are often not what they appear to be, we call them illusions.  But in the criminal world circumstances are often created to disguise the truth . Those are manipulations.   As St. Petersburg Detectives Gardner and Bascom tackle an unsolved case in the Chicago area, they quickly realize that distinguishing between the obvious and the disguised is paramount. 

A spellbinding story of control, revenge and a desire to manipulate those you purport to love the most.  Another Wojcik page turner!

a point of view cover.webp

A Point of View - You don't know what you don't know - is Ms. Wojcik's first book of non-fiction.  Not to be confused with a book about 'how to' - she refers to it as 'A Message'.  Point of View takes you on a journey of discovey reflecting what is involved in creating your unique perspective on a variety of topics.  And as for 'you don't know what you don't know' Wojcik says that has become her daily mantra and made her more accepting, tolerant and as a result - a better person.

At least that's her point of view! 

A lyrical message presented in simple terms with Ms. Wojcik's enviable writing style and real-life events that illustrate the book's meaning and purpose.  This is the author's first book of non-fiction - and one not to be missed.

Something bizarre is occurring in El Paso, and while all the authorities agree it is murder, they have no idea how to find the source.  One local official calls in Zackary Poston, a recently retired government agent who in turn calls his former compadre Steven Oliver Bascom.  The widely recognized firm of HBG&T take on the case and the action begins.  Detectives Peter Sutherland and Maxwell Gardner assist with age-old cloak and dagger maneuvers to try and solve the mystery.  Dead to Rights - a winner.

A chilling tale of right versus wrong, Dead to Rights portrays how perceptions and motivations can all too easily be distorted and result in heinous and illegal acts.
