Frederick, the cat, lost and alone as a kitten was rescued by a good Samaritan. His present owner found him in time at the animal shelter. Little did he know this human was going to take him on an adventure no cat has done before. She took him first to the Moon when she broke up with her boss. When a job opened up on Mars, off he went.

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
