About the author

I am a retired college professor. I live in California's Central Valley where it gets hot in summer. I hate summer. Currently, I'm writing full time. I don't think of myself as retired as much as the college is paying me to write my novels and Bible studies. I've been published in just about every venue. Fiction, nonfiction, radio drama, live drama, video documentaries, novels and book length nonfiction. I've been traditionally published in magazine and book format, and I'm currently engaged in Indie writing publishing my own stuff and loving it.

I live a fairly quiet life. I'm a life long single and live with my five cats. So, I'm keeping alive the cultural archetype of the Retired Old Maid School Teacher with Cats.

I write science fiction and cozy mysteries and have combined the two in my Dark Side of the Moon mystery series. I also teach writing and self-publishing in my online classes. Once a teacher....

Reviews

[Laura · Rating 3 out of 5]

Short stories are hard to rate. I'd like to give this 3.5 stars.
Four women wake in a hospital after each picks up a rose.
Were the roses poisoned? Why and by whom? Why were these women targeted?

What says Valentines Day better than candy and roses, even on the moon.
Luckily there is a crack investigate team on the job.

This short book also gifts chapters from other books by the author.
I'll be adding them to my TBR pile.
