My earliest memories include going to the library and bringing home a box of books…every week. I was raised on Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, Wizard of Oz, Narnia, and other works of mystery and wonder.

My earliest memories include going to the library and bringing home a box of books…every week. I was raised on Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, Wizard of Oz, Narnia, and other works of mystery and wonder.
My connection to words led to a career in public relations and marketing. Armed with degrees in communication, business and library science, I held senior management positions in higher education, winning numerous local, regional and national marketing awards while working at both the University of Houston and Texas Southern University.
After forty years writing non-fiction, including a 175-page history of the University of Houston, I retired and finally turned to creating fictional worlds.
My interests lie in women's fiction and mysteries. With the help of a Writer’s League of Texas five-day retreat and the eighteen-month long Online Certificate in Novel Writing program at Stanford University, I embraced both retirement and novel writing. From thisThe Broken Hallelujah was born.

When I’m not slaving over my computer, I spend time in my backyard garden and with my crazy fur babies, Jade, my yappy but huggable white schnauzer, and her best friend, Yara, a gorgeous and unflappable Russian blue feline.
Currently, I’m working on the Brentwood Women Mystery Series. The first, deliver us from evil . . . and the six o'clock news, is set at a university. Three generations of strong women are determined to clear a friend of a murder/suicide charge. It is now available on Amazon and other booksellers.

Currently, I’m working on the Brentwood Women Mystery Series. The first, deliver us from evil . . . and the six o'clock news, is set at a university. Three generations of strong women are determined to clear a friend of a murder/suicide charge. It is now available on Amazon and other booksellers.
I’m having a great time sending up some favorite academic places and people in my fictitious university. My forty years in academe opened many doors, introduced me to an amazing variety of characters, took me around the world from Houston to Alaska and Nigeria to Beijing, and offered many an outrageous tale to provide a plethora of plots.
The second book in the series, deadly . . . as a walk in the park, has Victoria, the matriarch of the family, bringing them together to solve her neighbor's hit and run, which is eerily similar to the unsolved hit and run that killed her husband twenty years earlier.
Both are available on Amazon.
I am currently working on Grace's book--Murder . . . from Time to Time.
Grace is bedridden for her last weeks of hr pregnancy and going stir crazy. Victoria and Hildy give her a 100-year-old cold case--the murder of an intrepid investigative reporter, her great-great-grandmother in 1928 Houston. She has to turn to her family and their fur buddies to find justice for Hannah and protect her unborn daughter from modern killers determined to stop her investigation.
I'll keep you posted as it gets ready to launch. Include your email in the feedback section if you are interested in hearing news about this and future books.
Until then, I wish you good times and good reading.
I've also been interviewed by a number of blogs, both US and UK. I've added a link to one of the most recent: Literary Flits.
