Dorothy May Mercer is a retired musician, busier than ever as president of two companies, writer and entrepreneur. She has published five books in seven months and is having a ball doing it! She and her husband have two lakefront homes in Michigan where they ski in winter and boat in summer. Hobbies are traveling, reading and playing the piano. The McBride series books are good old-fashioned detective cop stories with new technology and great looking girls thrown in.

It is almost as if the situation asks me a question, and I answer. One of my favorite tricks it to put my character in an impossible situation before I go to bed. The next morning I have to figure out how to get him/her out of this mess.(less)
