As a child in an Air Force family, I moved around a lot. So often that I attended high school in three different states. I found myself dreaming of small-town life, neighbors knowing neighbors, and everyone attending the town social. When I began to write mysteries it made sense - they would take place in the small quaint town I always wanted—except for the murders...I've completed the 3-book ScotShop Mystery Series, the 11-book Biscuit McKee Series, A Slaying Song Tonight and, in nonfiction, a book to help aspiring writers (From The Tip Of My Pen) as well as my 6-volume beekeeping memoir (BeesKnees) and my 3-volumes CLEAR series of mini-memoirs. Now my focus is on teaching people how to write the stories of their lives. My latest endeavor is AFTER I DIE: WHAT MY EXECUTOR WILL NEED TO KNOW, a book designed to help people gather the vital information their executor will need in order to carry out their wishes after death.An upcoming fantasy novella, TURNAROUND, will feature gentle blue-scaled four-eyed creatures with uncanny healing powers. They live in an alternate reality of the town of Russell Gap, which was first introduced to the readers of my Biscuit McKee Mystery Series. Biscuit and Marmalade make cameo appearances in TURNAROUND.I, along with assorted rescue cats, live and write quietly among the trees beside a creek on the other side of Hog Mountain in Georgia. In my spare time, I love to read, sing, knit, put together jigsaw puzzles, and feed the birds. Should I ever crave the attention of canines, my Australian Shepherd grand-dog lives nearby and provides lots of doggie licks and laughter.Thank you for clearing this up,Always looking for inspiration, I live my life with enthusiasm, excitement, and positive expectancy.Read more about this authorRead less about this author
