From the first time I picked up a
book I wanted to be a writer. When I was small, I sat on
my Grandmother's back-porch and wrote stories for my
dolls. I wrote stories in elementary school that didn't
always please the teacher and in high school I stopped
writing creative fiction because it always got me in
trouble. I don't want you to think that I was writing
erotic romance, or something else objectionable, it was
just that it was different from what the teacher thought
the assignment should be. Science was more acceptable and
engineering was better, so I became an engineer and spent
twenty years building and testing communications
equipment for the military.
During the time I worked on communications equipment, my
husband and I, with our four sons, lived on a small horse
farm. We bred, trained and raced Standardbreds. These are
the horses that pull a little cart. Our horses were
pacers. Our stallion actually made it to the Meadowlands
Pace, one of the top races for three-year-olds. My first
published novel, Summer's Story now available from Red Rose Publishing is based on my experiences in
the harness racing world.
After my husband retired, we moved to a farm in the
Endless Mountains of Pennsylvania. I always think the
name is like something out of Tolkein. We still have
horses, but now we concentrate on Paso Finos. These
marvelous horses came to the United States with the
Spanish Conquistidors. They're gaited horse, very smooth,
and excellent trail horses because they're so intelligent
and fearless. We also live near a small town. My next
novel deals with a murder in a small town like the one I
live in. Murder in Montbleu will be available in 2009
from Red Rose Publishing.
I love writing and thoroughly enjoy having people read my
stories. I hope they find enjoyment in reading as much as
I do in writing.
