about me

I'm a nurse from Texas. Now that I've retired, I live on a lake in South Carolina and write. I love mystery, suspense, and just about anything where someone dies.

I've had a few short stories published.

I may not comment on your work if I can't think of anything productive to say. Please know that if I backed it, I loved it. I take all backings as compliments. Please feel free to back even if you can't find the time to craft a comment.

The Dark Side of Town has been removed from this site due to agent/publisher interest and requests for exclusivity.
