About me:

I am a wife, mom, mema, and great-mema. For many years I was a teacher. Now that I'm retired I read and I write, which is rather weird since when I was a child I hated to read. Book reports were a nightmare. Even though my teacher sent a poem I wrote in 8th grade to a high school anthology, and it was published, I hated to write. Nevertheless, I attended Midwestern State University, read a lot, and graduated with a teaching degree. Perhaps it was reading Newbery books with my students that made me discover the magic of books. Or maybe it was reading to my three sons that I learned to love Dr. Seuss. I can't pinpoint an exact time, but suddenly I was reading everything I could. And I was writing, too. It's been a long, tough road to publication, but I'm getting there. When you have a chance, check out my young adult paranormal LISTEN TO THE GHOST. It's not only for teens but for everyone, from 10 to 100, who likes ghost stories and mysteries. SECRETS I HAVE KEPT is another mystery with a kidnapping, an Australian blue heeler, a Harley, and a mysterious flower. Rebel in Blue Jeans is the story of a girl whose mother runs away with the drummer in a rock band and what she does to bring her mom home. And I'm happy to announce Just Breeze and Caves, Cannons and Crinolines will be out this fall/winter.
