I write stories of good and evil, the mysteries of life, and (most of all) the enduring power of love. Although romance is my favorite genre to read (I do love happy endings!), as a writer, I enjoy tackling subjects that make people think.

A member of Sisters in Crime (2023-2024 president of the Central Virginia Chapter) and the Alliance of Independent Authors, I enjoy hanging out with my fellow writers, both online and in person, and am always appreciative of their ongoing generosity and support.

I married my college sweetheart, and together we have two amazing sons, two beautiful, smart and accomplished daughters-in-law (and aren’t my sons pretty smart for finding them!), three granddaughters who bring joy to my life, two grand-cats—Hercules, and Jack—and a grand-dog, Gus, all rescues.

We treasure our time with family and friends and enjoy traveling when we can and analyzing the plots of movies and TV shows.
