After retiring from the clerical world, mostly in clinical settings, I started writing full-time. My writing career originally began while still working full-time as a Transcriptionist in a doctor's office. I now have five novels published and am working on my sixth, Treasures In A Field to released this summer. My genre is Christian Romance Suspense, although I've written several short stories in other genres. Two of these short stories have been published in anthologies and have won awards. Spirit Lake can be found in the Dark Visions Anthology by Dan Alatorre (horror and spooky stories), and Ring-A-Ling Holiday Blues is in Tales of Texas, Vol. II.

My first three novels, A Very Present Help, Paths of Righteousness, and There Abideth Hope, were rewritten in my new writing style, in which His perfect Love was written. A fifth novel, Treasures in a Field, will be started in December after release of the novella.

For the past three years, I've published an online newsletter, Novel Thoughts. For three years, I've also been a member of the American Christian Fiction Writers known world wide, and this past year have joined Houston Writers Guild. I've also maintained a Facebook group forum, Christian Writers and Readers. for the past few years.

My best memory of high school is from the English classroom, taking part in the reading of Shakespeare's Macbeth. Unfortunately, being even worse at remembering names now than I was back then, I cannot remember the teacher's name. She was petite, a very good teacher, and had us take parts to read aloud the master's work. I guess I enjoyed her class more than any, except for architectural drawing and Mr. Compton's Solo Chorus.
