Hi there!I’m no stranger to murder and mayhem. I served twenty-nine years with the Los Angeles Police Department—eight as a civilian employee and twenty-one years as a sworn police officer. While most of my career was spent in a patrol car, I also worked as a firearm instructor, a crime analyst in the “War Room”, a Field Training Officer, and a Senior Lead Officer. Occasionally, I worked undercover in various assignments. I was honored to be named Officer of the Year in 1997. My debut novel, A Dozen Deadly Roses, became a bestselling E-book at Amazon and Barnes and Noble. My second novel, A Deadly Blessing was chosen by Barnes and Noble as a Best Book of 2012. I just released the final book, in my Buckner Thriller Suspense Trilogy, Damage Control, and I’m starting on the next book in my Deadly series. I live in Idaho with my husband, two energetic Labrador retrievers, and one mellow cat. I enjoy working out (most of the time), gardening, and bowling. But most of all, I love spending time with our daughter, her husband, and our two grandchildren. Read more about this authorRead less about this author
