I'm a 5-time published author. My first mystery, The Clock Strikes Midnight will release on November 25, 2014 I love to read, particularly good fiction--mystery, suspense, woman's fiction (not romance). I also love to read history and biography.

My stories have won awards in fiction-writing contests. 

I am married to a psychiatrist and have three stepchildren and four step grandchildren. I'm half-Italian (my father was born in Casserta, near Naples) and half-Yankee (my mom was born in New York). I have 5 animals--4 cats and one dog. I speak, eat, drink and travel Italian.
