I'm a published author with more than a few pen names. I tend to write stories in all sorts of genres because I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. So far, I have historical romance, romantic suspense, psychic suspense, time travel, and science fiction in my list. 

I retired from teaching in 2008 and sold my first novel four weeks later and I've had a lot of fun writing ever since. Writing is the ultimate control-freak's nirvana. Where else can I make up characters and do with them whatever I desire?

I live in the beautiful hills of West Virginia as the youngest resident in a retirement community. The residents have no idea I'm using them to develop a plethora of secondary characters to drop into my stories (Shhh, don't rat me out)
