Biography

I was born in Southern California and still live in the state, but will be moving to NW Arkansas with my husband within the year. Yikes! What a cultural change. I am determined to adjust to this foreign territory, though. I have one son and he has five kids. The oldest is a writer, and she is now sending in queries for her children's book. All my grandkids have different personalities but they are all very close. I will miss them when I go to Arkansas. I am an animal lover and have an affinity to English bulldogs. I've had three in my life and plan on a fourth one once we move. Bulldog number three is featured in my book in all his neurotic glory. He passed away in 2001, and it was fun yet nostalgic bringing him back to life in the story. I have written intermittantly all my life and have published magazine articles. SynergEbooks has recently published my first completed novel. I'm now working on another novel in another genre--suspense/love story. Right now I'm promoting my e-book on-line, revising my other book and enjoying life with my husband. I am currently reading novels in the suspense genre. My favorite movies are suspense, comedy and drama. I love Netflix.

Inspiration

Hayward Smith who wrote "The Red Hat Club" and "The Red Hat Club Rides Again" inspired me, as well as Janet Evanovitch. Certain music inspires me as well. For my suspense/love story, Gershwin music does it for me.
