Began wrting stories as a teen. Stopped sometime in college. Picked up again to write fan fic for now defunct "Diagnosis Murder" television program on CBS.  Met one of the writers of the program who encouraged me to focus my energies on characters of my own rather than those created by someone else. Thus was born the Alex Masters mystery series. 

Owe special thanks to all the members of the Mystery Writers Forum (on the web), especially Arline Chase, my publisher, for believing in me and giving me support 24/7.
