My husband, Mick, was also a writer from England (yes, he really was a Lancashire lad from the North of England), but he passed away in June 2013, so it will be up to me to complete his first and only novel. I come from a writer's heritage with other family members being published in the 1920's and 30's...and my sister, Janice Ficke Lee Walker, has her new book in publication. Other than writing, Mick and I were plaster statuary restoration artists and worked mainly on church statuary. I continue this work today, but as a hobby. And I am also a rosary maker!! By behemoth novel, "The Marlinspike Murders" will take me at least three years to research and write. I anticipate release of this book sometime in 2024. I've been busy publishing the Sanderson Series in paperback, soon to have all four books on Smashwords.com (for eBooks) and will publish four more novels in 2022/2023. By then I should have fifteen plus altogether. No grass (or mold) grows under my feet!  

No accolades yet...but there is plenty of time for that.
