D in psychology in 1974 and began working as a staff psychologist at the University of Southern California School of Medicine where he eventually became a full clinical professor of pediatrics. He opened a private practice in the early 1980s while writing novels in his garage at night. His first published novel, When the Bough Breaks appeared in 1985, many years after writing and having works rejected. He then wrote five best selling novels while still a practicing psychologist. In 1990 he quit his private practice to write full-time. He has written more than 40 crime novels as well as non-fiction works and children's books. " (from Wikipedia).
