About the author

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

A touch of mystery and Magic! This is a fascinating tale that captures your attention from the beginning. When Susan goes to visit her boyfriend in Colorado, she meets his family for the first time. His daughter doesn't like her and disappears. What happened to her and what tangled plot is she involved in? I really enjoyed this story and recommend it to people who like a touch of mystery and magic!

If you like Cozy Mysteries with a touch of danger and an element of magic, then this book is for you. I enjoy watching the MC grow in personal strength after the tragedy that plagued her before the first book in the series. The series wraps with the next book, and I will be sorry to see it end. The story only earned 4 Stars because of the editing, or lack thereof—still, this is no reason not to read the book.
