I draw my stories and characters from a diverse business and personal background. Owned a national antique and art appraisal business, leaving that business to open two yoga centers. I taught yoga and certified yoga instructors.  I've been fortunate to travel to many places in the world.. My husband recently retired from California politics, so instead of spending part of the year in Sacramento, California, I'm now in Huntington Beach, full time.     I had a library card at 3 1/2 years of age and I've never been without a book since them. I have three published books, Blue Coyote Motel, Tea Party Teddy, and Coyote in Provence. Blue Coyote Motel was a quarterfinalist in Amazon's Breakthrough Novel Award contest and the Book of the Month on both e-thriller and Goodreads Psychological Thrillers. Coyote in Provence is the sequel to it.

Blue Coyote Motel was a quarterfinalist in the ABNA awards and chosen to be the Book of the month both on e-thriller and Goodreads Psychological Thrillers.
