I grew up in northern Idaho and met my husband at the University of Idaho. We traveled across the USA and back due to his jobs. I became a screen printer and embroiderer for twenty years before retiring. So I'm well aware of design techniques. After wintering in Arizona, I joined a wonderful writing class in 2011 which helped me write and publish by 2013. Today I have written over 25 novels and a collection of short stories, and novellas. I chose Science Fiction and Urban Fantasy as my genre because I enjoy reading and watching those types of stories. After our trips to Europe, I added Travel mysteries to my writing. Some ask me about writer's block. I don't believe in that, it's a myth that excuses procrastination. Having said that, I agree there are times when you aren't sure of what scene comes next. I take a walk, watch a show, read a book, or just clean house. It will come to you. I was unsure about tackling the Nanowrimo challenge the first time I did it so I planned out my story. In eleven days I wrote 50,000 words of a urban fantasy story that I added 9000 more words by the end of November 2015. Since then, I have won many more nano book awards, The Pottery Sale, The Cruise, The Takers, A Witch Comes a Haunting, Eye of the Throne, Mystery Along the Danube, and Mystery Along the Italian Coast. The fifth book in my UF, The Magic Within
I enjoyed reading this book. It follows two main characters: a teenager searching to find her own place on Mars, and an experienced captain trying to stop a rich, criminal family from creating a monopoly. Both are deeply involved in the discovery of new life on Mars--but they're creatures unlike anything we've experienced before.
