I am a life-long avid reader, a retired English teacher (high school and college),wife, mother, grandmother, and a later-in- life published author. I never aspired to be a writer, but one summer day in 2013, inspiration came calling and nine months later (can't resist the metaphor!) Convergence was born! In May of 2020 NFB published my second novel, Dark Riddle. My third book, A Deeper Dive, Book #1 in the Merrill Connor Mystery series came out in May of 2023. Book #2 in the series, Boulder Point, will be available in June of 2024. ...more

I'm working on Book #2 presently. I'm having a great time doing so, in spite of the fact that I was reluctant to create a series initially.

I truly value my readers' opinions, skketch! You've been so supportive and it means so much!
