A transplant from the beautiful state of Idaho, I’ve lived most of my life on the majestic Pacific coast. After graduating from San Francisco State University I studied at the University of Nice in France and have a Masters in French literature.

I started writing at St. Mary’s Cathedral School under the tutelage of Sister Delores Marie who told me I had talent. I believed her and have been writing ever since. I love to read mystery novels so of course I love writing them.  I’m completing my fourth mystery novel set in South Africa. I've also written novels set in Australia, Eastern Montana and California. Hence the title of my blog, Global Mysteries.

I am a member of Mystery Writers of America and I sit on the state Central Board of California Writers Club. One of my novels, "Murder in a Teacup," placed second in the California Writers Club Jack London novel contest.
