I have always enjoyed a great murder mystery, and once I started writing about Patty O'Toole and Rick

Starker I couldn't let them go.  Hence, Murder On The Oregon Coast, Murder On The Wind,Murder Replete...for now, 

Murder Takes All, and Murder at Macklyn Cove!

I was honored last month to be chosen, due to the success of my writing, as one of the judges for the Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award

competition.  This involved my reading a manuscript and electronically completing a judge's form.  I cannot attend this year's 

Killer Nashville's International Writer's Conference in Tennessee, but it's on my calendar for next year! 

While signing books at the Oregon Cheese Festival this last March, I was reminded of another honor bestowed upon me a few years ago

following publication of Murder Replete....for now.  My first three books were featured in the Who's Who/What's What section of

Southern Oregon magazine.

​

I am currently working on the sixth book in the Oregon Coast murder mystery series. and will let my Murder, Mystery & Suspense newsletter

fans know when it's published. When not writing, I enjoy time spent with family and friends.  I believe in supporting one's community

and do so as volunteer for the Curry County Sheriff's Office, and as a director on the Coos-Curry Electric Cooperative Board ofDirectors,.  I

also serve as a director on the board for the Federated Rural Electric Insurance Exchange. 

The Oregon coast is filled with scenery that awakens my creative soul, and it's the rhythmic ebb and flow of the sea that inspires me.

The people I've met and continue to meet throughout my journey provide enrichment to my creativity and to my life.
