The plot for my soon to be released book CONDO, was inspired by a huge gator that decided to hang around the boat docks for a few days in Venetian Bay, Naples Florida, where we live in the winter. People often ask if Gators will really attack human beings - see the footage below for the answer...

Planning a trip back to Cuba as part of our winter getaway. Lots of interesting stuff to see - inspiration abounds! 

My last visit inspired a few chapters in my book Florida Clowns, so who know what will come out of my next trip? I wonder if the two cigar smoking old biddies are still around?

Been waiting for the rains to fill up those rivers and this week, they came with a vengeance. So off I went to pursue my second favourite hobby. Did I catch any fish? No of course not!

Okay, so you know that most authors are a bit eccentric - you didn't?!
Well, maybe it's just me then. So, apart from writing, I enjoy catching fish, and eating fish, and carving fish out of wood. I told you, eccentric.... 

Here are some samples of my work.

Much of the inspiration for my stories comes from my own experiences, in terms of the places I travel to, and the characters I meet along the way. Naples Florida often features in my novels. Located on the Gulf of Mexico, it has wonderful beaches, and just a few miles away, are the Everglades, with alligators, snakes, bears, deer, panthers and all manner of creatures.

A chance meeting in a diner in Naples Florida formed the basis of Kerry Costello’s latest crime novel.

Says Costello; “We have a small condo in Naples, on the Gulf of Mexico, where we spend as much of the winter as possible. In 2015 I went to Mel’s Diner to get a takeaway meal. The place was busy so I decided to have a beer while I waited. I soon fell into conversation with an interesting looking character called Rudy. He told me he was a treasure hunter, diving for treasure-trove in sunken Spanish Galleons off the coast of Florida. At first, I thought he was some sort of fantasist, but then I checked online the next day and it didn’t take long for me to realise the guy was telling the truth.
