I studied writing and art at Bismarck State College. I have also studied writing with the Institute of Children's Literature. I have been researching and studying the supernatural since I was a teenager. I have published twelve books, over two hundred articles and some poetry. I was born and raised in Mandan, North Dakota where I met and married my husband Howard. I have two children, five grandchildren and two great grandchildren. I am also an artist specializing in landscapes and abstract.
