An avid reader all my life, it was a natural transition for me to take up writing once I retired from my career. I have a long list of books and movies that influenced me, but my primary influence was my intense desire to tell tall tales, and small ones too. With a head full of amazing stories of tragedy and triumph, I knew I had to share them with others. I hope you'll visit my website and book page to see what I have to offer.

I am working feverishly on my next novel, The Spirit Keepers, a romantic suspense situated on a Pueblo in the Southwest, complete with witches, kachinas and intrigue. Look for it in 2013.

Out of the Shadow
Out of the Shadow tells the story of two women drawn together in the present to uncover a crime from the past Having survived a rape and her husband’s murder, all Becca Rosen wants to do is move on with her life, but how can she when she’s being stalked by a psychopath with an attitude—and an agenda. The police are no help because they’re convinced, with her history of mental illness, Becca has faked the rape to get away with her husband’s murder. On top of that, Becca has begun to have flashbacks and nightmares of childhood abuse, possibly at the hands of the rapist. Not knowing where to turn, and feeling like she might go crazy again, Becca hires Psychologist, Sarah Abrams, to help her unearth who’s behind the crimes of the past…and the present. Three men come into Becca’s life around the same time. While each of these men has his charms, Becca can’t be certain whether any one of them is the real killer. Or could it be someone else? Together Becca and Sarah start on a course of hypnotherapy to discover the abuser’s identity. Will their work reveal the real killer before it’s too late, or will Becca once again fall prey to this demented criminal?
