So, I lied about my age. They shouldn't have asked a lady her age anyhow. Especially one over twelve.
Who am I? I am woman (is that a cliche or what?) I'm also an author.
I'm also a retired music teacher from the Chicago Public School System. I've been an opera singer, folk singer, sales manager and music therapist for emotionally disturbed children. I have a keen interest in reading, dogs, collies and horses.
The books I write tend to represent the genres I read. Romantic suspense, mystery and suspense. This is the synopsis of my first published novel.
"In the Arms of the Enemy" a romantic suspense novel is about love, deception and murder.
A valuable race horse and its trainer are murdered and the horse's owner, under indictment for the murders has a fatal heart attack. His son, Adam Blakely is convinced the trainer's partner, Maggie McGregor, knows more than she told the police and goes undercover to investigate.
Maggie McGregor has just lost her partner and fiance and the best horse she ever trained. Devastated, Maggie goes back to her father's farm determined never to train again, until a handsome stranger moves his horse into her father's barn. And, that's when the accidents begin.
This is a story about horses killed for insurance money and the two people who try to stop an assassination team so insidious they could rock the foundation of a horse racing empire.
This story is dedicated to all those horses lost to man's greed and inhumanity and to those humanitarians who make it their mission to save them.

WATERLILIES OVER MY GRAVE by Patricia Guthrie
You can run, but you can't hide in this new romantic suspense from Patricia Guthrie.
In a spiraling fall into obsessive madness, psychiatrist Duncan Byrne vows revenge against his ex-wife for divorcing him. When she leaves New York, he reflects, "You can run, but you can't hide."
Psychologist, Annabelle O'Brien begins a new life in the popular resort town of Lake Nager, hoping to find peace and normality. But anonymous threats follow, and Annie finds herself terrorized by a stalker.
Burned-out Detective Mark Driscoll, detests the new psychologist who recommends he take time-off. How dare she? But when somebody slashes her tires, ransacks her apartment and kills her cat, Mark spends his mandated furlough playing body guard.
They don't count on falling in love; something neither wants, but both need. Nor do they count on women resembling Annie being murdered.

Hey Patricia - I find it by Googling something like "MySpace graphics" or "MySpace comments," and there are whole websites filled with the graphics, which you can copy for free. Just be careful, though, as some of the sites seem to be "virusy." My virus program lets me know which ones, though. The graphics DO make comments more fun, so good luck with it and enjoy : )
