Gordon Aalborg 

Gordon’s writing career began at The Edmonton Journal, where he was a columnist and bureau chief for many years.  Then it was off to Australia in the ‘70s as a freelance journalist and broadcaster—and, ultimately, reinvention as a best-selling romance author. “Victoria Gordon” was born in response to claims that “no man” could write Harlequin category romance, and she survives after more than twenty novels published throughout the world.

Gordon wrote the feline survival epic Cat Tracks (Delphi Books, 2002) in his own name.

His move to crime fiction followed Gordon’s return to Canada and marriage to best-selling mystery author Denise “Deni” Dietz.  Their online romance inspired the romantic suspense Finding Bess (Five Star Expressions, 2004), but Gordon says writing it was…difficult.  “I kept trying to get everybody into bed, and she kept wanting to kill them all off.”

Extracurricular activities include sculpting in wood, and he maintains an interest in working gundogs.  He was founder and long-time president of the Tasmanian Gundog Trial Association.

Gordon’s dramatic psycho-thriller, The Specialist (Five Star Mysteries, 2004) is set in Tasmania and on Vancouver Island , where Gordon now lives.

The Specialist
The Specialist is a serial killer with very specific and unique tastes. He especially likes the flavor of innocent female bicycle tourists. Kirsten is a jewellery designer whose hobby is caving, and she carries a lot of emotional baggage, above-ground or in the bowels of the earth. Her sister Emma goes missing en route to visit Kirsten.  

Then her sister's Kirsten-designed ring mysteriously turns up in a newly discovered cave on Vancouver Island. This cannot be and should not be, but Kirsten knows it to be true because she found the ring herself! 

Now she has to solve the riddle of an apparent impossibility, with the help of a few old friends and one deliciously tempting new one. 

Kirsten wants answers. The Specialist wants her to join him for dinner.
