Award-winning author and writing instructor

Stay a while and explore. I write in a variety of fictional genres and categories, from humorous mysteries to taut thrillers, humorous paranormals to women’s fiction. Novels and short story, lots of which have been award-honored. I’m even writing in Amazon’s Vella now, both episodic short stories, and an exciting new supernatural thriller set in the Vatican City of the New Age, Sedona, Arizona.
