I wrote my first picture book back in 1967 when I was in fifth grade. The writing bug has always been inside me. He stayed hidden, not coming out, but always collecting stories that he would keep safe for me until that day came that I would consider myself a writer.  My first book, The Baby Factory was self published in 2013. Since then I have improved and honed my writing skills. Keep the Faith, Ellen McGuire is a inspirational Christmas story for single moms. The Big Mistake Club, published this year has been given a five star review by Readers Favorites. Jellies, Jams, and Bodies, released in July 2016 is the first in my new cozy mystery series, also received a 5 star review from Readers Favorite. October 2016 I will publish Jam Up and Jelly Fright, the second in the Jellies, Jams, and Weddings cozy series. In December 2016 I will release Jellies, Jams, and Christmas Cookies. Next year I have plans to release my second cozy series named Shipwreck Cafe, a series set on Cape Cod. Emma's Ghosts, a paranoral thriller will be released in the spring.  From now until they plant me in the ground I will be writing my stories. I hope you join me on my journey and enjoy a book or two.
