Welcome Note
Hi! I'm so glad you've stopped by. I hope you'll stay awhile and learn more about me and my books, and the great mysteries of other authors who can be found here at Mystery Writers of America.
Author Bio
I'm an old Illinois farm kid who's wandered a bit since her youth. You know, how you gonna keep 'em down on the farm, etc.? After living in Illinois, Oklahoma, Indiana, the south of France, Florida and Colorado, is it any wonder that my Sylvia and Willie mysteries begin in Illinois, move to Florida, and then to Nevada and Arizona?
