I have always been a voracious reader
and I enjoy a good mystery. I am an
Investigation ID addict and I hate
when a case goes unsolved. I attended
the University of Michigan where I
earned an English degree, but I
currently work for another university
in the physical therapy doctorate
program. I currently live in
beautiful North Carolina where there
is plenty of sunshine, smiling faces,
and sweet tea. I have one college-
aged son, a great husband, and an
aging ornery cat. Reading is my
passion, but I also write for children
and I have been published in several
magazines.
My fave event was a vacation to Maui. Rainbows, sunshine, and so much beauty everywhere. The I Love Dogs Jewelry - what a great way to help abused and orphaned animals.
I read the coffee house mysteries for awhile and really enjoyed them. I've missed the last few and have to get back in the swing. I love mysteries with entrepreneurs and Clare's coffee shop is so unique.
