Ted’s writing style is engaging and witty, with a strong sense of place and character. His books are filled with humor, suspense, unexpected twists, and a hint of sarcasm, making them a must-read for those who enjoy a tongue-in-cheek approach to life.
His stories are inspired by growing up in a large Irish Catholic family, his stint in the Army, and his career in sales and marketing.
He lives on Whidbey Island with his wife and aging German Shepherd where most of his characters call home. The oddly shaped land mass of picturesque landscapes and small-town charm supplies plenty of fodder for the quirky cast members he brings to life.
This longest island in Washington state is like a picture postcard—every corner offers a breathtaking sight. Rugged coastlines and pebbled beaches nestle up to ancient forests and wide prairies blanketed with wildflowers in the spring. The towns are charming, real-life depictions of the idyllic fantasies often presented on the Hallmark Channel, and the people are even friendlier.
Only an hour from Seattle, the island feels a million miles away but is easily accessible by the twenty-minute ferry trip from Mukilteo, but let’s keep it our little secret.
